Misdiagnosis of Heart Attack or Stroke

Pennsylvania Lawyers: ER Misdiagnosis/Malpractice

Heart Attack · Stroke · Diabetic Reactions · Serious Infection

Emergency room doctors and nurses are trained to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, including angina, radiating pain, breathlessness and anxiety. When properly treated immediately, a heart attack or stroke can be stopped in its tracks, or at least the long-term damage to the heart muscle or the brain can be minimized. Unfortunately, mistakes are sometimes made, and these symptoms are misdiagnosed as heartburn or even hysteria.

Our guarantee: You will be charged no fees and pay no costs until we are able to secure a settlement or trial judgment in your case.

When symptoms are ignored or misinterpreted, or a physician fails to order needed tests, lives can be lost. When a fatal misdiagnosis or other mistake is made — either because of understaffing, long wait times or physician incompetence — the physician and hospital can be held liable in a wrongful death lawsuit. Contact a respected medical malpractice and misdiagnosis attorney today to discuss your case in depth.

Misdiagnosis of early stage heart disease, heart palpitations, heart murmur or other cardiac irregularity can lead to a serious or deadly heart attack, one that could easily have been prevented by a doctor who took the time and care to properly examine the patient and order the appropriate tests.

The wrong diagnosis also can lead to serious or fatal consequences in patients with meningitis or any other life-threatening illness such as hemorrhagic infections of the brain, as well as those who may suffer serious reactions to common medications due to misdiagnosed or ignored diabetes.
