Heading: The Circumstances Which Brought About the Injury

Text: ś 70. The notices of claim clearly described the circumstances which brought about Albert Price's injury. The first sentence of the notices of claim stated that he suffered injuries as a result of negligent medical treatment at the defendants' medical facilities. The notices of claim further pointed out that Albert Price had been a patient of the defendants for more than twenty years and that, despite the fact that his condition began worsening in 2001, [a]t no time was an MRI or CT scan performed on Mr. Price to determine any potential neurological problems. As a consequence, the notices stated, Albert Price's tumor was not discovered until it was inoperable and unresponsive to radiation therapy. Thus, the notices of claim met the first requirement set out in Section 11-46-11(2) by adequately describing the circumstances which brought about the injury.
