Two
women -- of the same age -- and same diagnosis -- died of the same condition --
at the same hospital – shortly after doctors said the situation wasn’t dire.
Earlier this month, Geisinger
Health System reached an undisclosed settlement
with the family of a 26-year-old doctor who planned to work for the health
system before she died of a brain hemorrhaging while in its care on May 29,
2013. According to the January 2014 lawsuit, Dr. Jennifer Sidari had an
"easily diagnosable, treatable and entirely correctable" blood clot
condition when she arrived at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center’s in May
2013 complaining of a 10-day spell with headaches. The suit alleged that Dr.
Sidari eventually suffered a "horrific and painful death" from
massive cerebral hemorrhaging, a stroke and irreversible brain damage because
doctors failed to "be properly suspicious of" and detect the blood
clot that "should have been obvious." By the time they ordered a CT
scan or have her see a neurologist (more than 40 hours after she arrived at the
hospital), it was too late.
Weeks later, Geisinger is defending a strikingly
similar lawsuit.
Another 26-year-old woman (not a doctor, however) and mother of two, died of
brain hemorrhaging on April 1, 2013. The lawsuit, filed in February 2014,
alleges that the woman died tragically due to a blood clot in her brain that
was neither timely diagnosed nor properly treated when it was diagnosed. Plaintiff
attorneys said Jessica Gensel sought treatment for severe, vomit-inducing
headaches beginning March 19, but was discharge without a neurological exam.
Days later, she returned to the hospital but was again released despite complaints
of throbbing headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, ringing in her
ears, reduced feeling in her limbs, tremors and difficulty with balance,
according to the lawsuit. On April 1, she was rushed back to the hospital where
she later died after suffering irreversible brain damage. The cause of death
was intracerebral hemorrhage, according to the suit.
These two cases would be eligible for litigation funding. A lawsuit cash advance is often the answer to difficult
situations where a family has insufficient funds to handle unexpected bills and
ordinary living expenses, while trying to pick of the pieces of their shattered
lives. They would, simply, contact Lawsuit
Financial, complete an application, and we do the rest. A funding decision
is typically available within 24 – 48 hours after receipt of all pertinent
information. Because funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, repayment is
only made when the case successfully settles. The most appealing benefits of
litigation funding is that if the case is lost, the cash advance does not need
to be repaid. Additionally, because there is no need for a credit check, the
plaintiff’s credit remains intact.
If you have lost a loved one due to a misdiagnosis, you
may be entitled to a monetary recovery. Once you have legal representation, if
you lack the financial resources to withstand a lengthy legal process, consider
litigation funding. Contact Lawsuit Financial toll-free at 1-877-377-SUIT
