Stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted by a blockage or bleeding, causing sudden neurological impairment. Symptoms may include weakness, speech difficulties, visual changes and loss of coordination. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential, followed by rehabilitation where appropriate. Independent Stroke Expert Witnesses can provide opinions on diagnosis, treatment delays, clinical standards, causation, rehabilitation needs and prognosis in Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury proceedings.
