Some of the known side effects of Haldol include heart rhythms disruption. Our client slipped into a coma. We were able to prove that he was not properly monitored for heart rhythm disruption. As a result he suffered from a cardiac dysrhythmia, which deprived the flow of oxygen to his brain. He never woke up from his coma, and died two and one-half years later.
