Lawsuit Financial Can Provide Financial Peace Of Mind For Families In Medical Misdiagnosis Lawsuits

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.
