Failure To Diagnose Stroke

Our stroke lawyers help patients and their families hold negligent doctors, hospitals, and first responders accountable for the delayed diagnosis of strokes.

A stroke is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate intervention. The slightest delay can mean the difference between full recovery and lifelong disability, even death.

Medical personnel and emergency rooms exist to provide emergency medical treatment. Primary care physicians are also extensively trained to recognize medical emergencies. Patients have the right to expect medical professionals to recognize the signs of stroke and act accordingly.

You could also suffer a fatal event after a stroke. Take control of your medical and legal rights with a phone call to the stroke lawyers at Gillette & Izzo Law Office.

A Stroke Misdiagnosis Is Surprisingly Common

Have you or a loved one suffered from a delayed or undiagnosed stroke? There are many different types of strokes with varying symptoms, but these symptoms can be misdiagnosed as vertigo, nausea, vomiting, or migraine.

Most often, these symptoms will start suddenly and unexpectedly when caused by a stroke. When these strokes go undiagnosed and untreated, brain cells continue to die due to the prolonged lack of oxygen.  The longer a brain goes without the proper treatment, the greater the amount of brain damage.

When it comes to stroke malpractice, finding the right legal representation can make all the difference. Our stroke malpractice lawyers provide clients with an aggressive and results-oriented legal service that helps them receive the compensation they deserve.

The American Stroke Association goes through the latest stroke symptoms and stroke warning signs.
