Philadelphia Stroke Misdiagnosis Lawyers / Pennsylvania Stroke Misdiagnosis Attorneys
Stroke Misdiagnosis Lawyer in Pennsylvania
Strokes are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. A stroke happens when brain cells die as the result of disruption to blood supply to the brain. Strokes injure over 800,000 people a year. Doctors routinely misdiagnose strokes. The Lassen Law Firm, Pennsylvania medical malpractice attorneys, handles failure to diagnose stroke cases. Symptoms of strokes include:
- Confusion.
- Difficulty speaking.
- Difficulty understanding speech.
- Numbness, weakness or tingling to one side of the body.
- Dizziness.
- Severe headache.
- Loss of consciousness.
- Loss of balance.
- Loss of coordination.
- Diminished vision.
If an ER doctor suspects a stroke, a CT scan should be administered immediately. If a stroke is properly diagnosed, medicine can be given for the first 3 hours which will dissolve blood clots and restore adequate blood flow to the brain.
It is important to remember that doctors can make serious mistakes, which is why numerous stroke misdiagnosis cases are reported every year. Medical professionals are responsible for correctly diagnosing their patients. They must monitor and treat their patients' symptoms accordingly. Failure to do so can lead to severe errors and may be considered medical malpractice.
If a stroke is misdiagnosed, and the patient is injured or develops further symptoms, the medical professional can be held liable. After a patient has been given the wrong treatment, he/she is legally entitled to seek compensation from his/her doctor. A patient may seek monetary damages for his/her: medical expenses, injuries, lost wages, lost future income, physical and mental impairment, and pain and suffering. The Lassen Law Firm, Pennsylvania medical malpractice lawyers, will get you maximum compensation for your injury.
