Improper Diagnosis and Treatment For Heart Patient Fell Short

When we enter the hospital we expect that the health care provider will do everything necessary to treat our condition. If a doctor does not provide proper treatment, it can lead to serious complications or, as in the following case, the death of the patient. For example, heart attacks are one of the most fatal injuries. A doctor’s failure to evaluate and perform specific tests to rule out heart attacks is essential. If not treated properly the risk of a fatal heart attack greatly increases.

A medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed against Rush University Medical Center claiming that negligent treatment resulted in a patient’s death.

According to the suit, the man entered the hospital with chest pains. Despite the doctor requesting testing, he did not request cardiac testing and therefore failed to diagnose a serious heart condition. The man was discharged, but later suffered a heart attack and died. The lawsuit alleges that the doctor was negligent by failing to diagnose the patient’s medical problem and failing to order the proper tests. Had the doctor done so, the patient could have been properly treated.

When someone’s death is caused by an undiagnosed heart attack, the surviving family members are often left wondering what could have been done. In many cases, further actions could have been taken to save the patient which is why the majority of medical malpractice lawsuits are the result of medical errors in diagnosis.

Plaintiffs in a medical malpractice lawsuit can seek compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Once a lawsuit is filed, litigation funding can help combat mounting bills during a potentially long legal battle.

A lawsuit cash advance can ensure that this family’s bills are paid until the case reaches a settlement. Litigation funding is not provided against assets; it is against the potential settlement of the case. That means there is no need for a credit check or employment verification. The cash advance is simply repaid once the case successfully settles. If the family applies for, and receives a lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial, but loses their case, we would not require repayment. That is because we assume all the risks when funding clients.

If you have lost a loved one due to a medical misdiagnosis, filed a lawsuit, and in need of immediate funds, you may qualify for litigation funding. Apply today and see if Lawsuit Financial can put you in a position to negotiate the settlement they deserve. We guarantee a case recovery equal to the amount of money we advance.
