When Misdiagnosis or Late Diagnosis Results in Harm to Patients, Our Colorado Law Firm Investigates
A diagnosis of cancer, meningitis, heart attack or stroke is devastating and life-altering for most people. A cancer patient may face a long struggle against an inevitable premature and painful death. A meningitis patient may end up with a range of mental and/or physical disabilities. A heart attack victim may require heart surgery and diminished physical strength for the rest of his or her life. A stroke victim may remain partially paralyzed, partially blind or otherwise unable to live a fully carefree and independent life as before.
What if the cancer, meningitis, heart attack or stroke was initially preventable or curable — but a health care professional made this impossible due to neglecting to properly diagnose and treat the condition in its early stages? You may have arrived at this Web page precisely for that reason. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
Perhaps you or your loved one went to the emergency room — and you were sent home with an aspirin, only to suffer shortly afterward the effects of a heart attack, meningitis or stroke. Perhaps you reported symptoms of an approaching heart attack or symptoms of cancer to your family physician — and he or she dismissed them, neglecting to order the appropriate tests.
Perhaps your doctor did order tests, but failed to read the results when they came back from the lab — or lab personnel switched samples with charts and inadvertently reported your results to another patient, and the other patient to you.
However the misdiagnosis or late diagnosis occurred, both doctors and lawyers may agree that standards of care were breached and you need compensation to help you cope with costs and losses resulting from the mistake.
