Patient Files Malpractice Lawsuit Claiming she fell from Operating Table during Surgery

A woman recently filed a lawsuit alleging medical malpractice occurred during her appendectomy on April 18, 2014.

The lawsuit claims that the patient fell from the operating table while doctors were attempting to tilt it sideways to gain better access to her appendix. As a result, the woman said she suffers health issues, especially prolonged pain and complications to her neck and shoulder.

The surgeon, anesthesiologist, as well as the hospital are named as defendants. The plaintiff is seeking an undisclosed amount in damages.

The plaintiff’s attorney said details about the incident are scarce because of Washington state law that gives caregivers immunity to discovery or disclosure when medical malpractice is alleged.

“There’s a lot of what happened to her that we’re going to have to use other legal means to find out,” the attorney said. “What kind of operating table was it? Who had the controls for the tilting the table? Was it controlled by foot pedal that the surgeon was operating? We don’t know because they haven’t told us.”

If you believe that you have been injured by medical malpractice, an experienced attorney can help determine if you have a viable case under the laws of your state. Medical malpractice cases are complex, and often take years to settle. This case will undoubtedly be no different.

No one has unlimited financial resources; most victims already live paycheck to paycheck. Add unexpected medical expenses to ordinary financial obligations and a plaintiff could quickly face financial devastation.

Plaintiffs with attorney representation and a strong case with merit often find financial relief through litigation funding. This lawsuit cash advance is provided risk-free, usually within 24 – 48 hours.

The process begins with a one-page application, completed online or over the phone. Next, a funding specialist at Lawsuit Financial will request case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney. The application and documentation are reviewed, and if the case is approved for funding, we will send the funds via overnight mail or wire transfer once a contract is signed. We required no upfront fees, credit check, or employment verification. The most appealing benefits of litigation funding is that there are no payments until the case is settled, and if the case is lost, the cash advance does not need to be repaid.

If you believe you or a family member has been seriously injured from medical malpractice, a medical error, or the negligence of a health care provider, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Once your lawsuit is filed by an attorney, contact Lawsuit Financial so you can wait for a fair settlement without the financial pressure to settle too early for too little.

Patient Alleges Hospital Failed to Diagnose Vascular Condition that led to Amputation

A recent medical malpractice lawsuit alleges hospital negligence resulted in partial amputation of a patient’s leg.

The plaintiff alleges that on March 31, 2015, he was admitted to the defendant’s facility with pain in his right toe. Although he underwent various tests on his right leg, the doctor failed to diagnose vascular condition resulting in a partial leg amputation, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that the hospital failed to timely and properly transmit records to diagnose the correct treatment, failed to timely and properly communicate with the plaintiff's treating physicians, and failed to properly diagnose and treat the plaintiff's injury to avoid further damage.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks compensation in excess of $50,000 for permanent injuries, loss of normal life and medical.

Despite the fact that our legal system can help plaintiffs receive the compensation deserved, it is usually not a quick and easy process. In cases like this, the emotional, mental and physical stress is enough to deal with; the last thing this man needs to worry about is how to keep up with his financial obligations until a fair settlement is reached. The lawsuit funding industry was born out of such concerns.

When justice is slow in coming, a lawsuit cash advance can be the means to stay financially afloat. All that a plaintiff needs is attorney representation and have a case with merit. Applying for funding can be done online or with a quick phone call. Once a plaintiff completes a one-page application, documentation will be requested from the attorney. The review and decision process is typically handled within one day, and funds can be available for use within 24 – 48 hours of approval. There is no credit check or employment verification; all that matters is the strength of the case.

Once a lawsuit cash advance resolves a plaintiff's financial difficulties, he can patiently await the outcome of his case, without be forced to settle too early for too little. Best of all, repayment is only made after the plaintiff successfully settles; if the case is lost, repayment of the lawsuit cash advance is excused.

Couple Files Lawsuit against Radiologists Alleging Medical Negligence

Did your radiologist fail to diagnose your medical condition or fail to communicate with you in a timely manner? If so, you may be able to take legal action for radiology malpractice.

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), radiology problems leading to a medical malpractice lawsuit usually stems from a failure to diagnose. Failure to diagnose accounts for about 40-54 percent of radiology-related medical malpractice cases, according to the NIH. The majority of those errors are attributed to the radiologist misreading or misinterpreting films. As a result, a patient can suffer serious consequences.

A West Virginia couple recently filed a lawsuit alleging two radiologists provide substandard medical care and treatment, resulting in injuries.

According to the complaint, the defendant was negligent in examining the patient’s radiology reports. As a result, her condition went undiagnosed and she suffered severe pain and discomfort for two months. Ultimately, the patient was required to undergo a total hip arthroplasty to correct a right hip fracture displacement.

The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in damages.

A medical malpractice lawsuit can seek damages to cover medical expenses and compensate the plaintiff for loss of income, pain and suffering, and other damages. While an experienced medical malpractice attorney can be a strong advocate in the fight for justice, doctors and other healthcare professionals are backed by large insurance companies who will deny, delay, and defend claims hoping the innocent victim will give up. Most plaintiffs don’t have the financial staying power to wait; financial concerns typically mount and cause undue stress.  Seeking a lawsuit cash advance can provide immediate cash to see a case through to a much higher settlement.

Lawsuit funding is very different from a traditional bank loan; it does not require upfront fees, a credit check or employment history. All that is required for to be eligible for a lawsuit cash advance is attorney representation and a strong, winnable case. Repayment is made once the case settles, but if the plaintiff loses, there is no obligation to repay the cash advance.

When pursuing a lawsuit puts a strain on your finances, lawsuit funding can provide a feasible financial lifeline to support your case and living expenses. The application process is quick and easy online or over the phone, and with your attorney’s support, the funds can be available for use within 24 – 48 hours.

Failure to Diagnose Resulted in Delayed Treatment For Endometrial Carcinoma

Sometimes a missed diagnosis doesn’t cause harm to the patient, however other times it can worsen a condition or lead to additional injuries. The failure to make a diagnosis or an error in diagnosis may be considered negligence on the part of the doctor or medical staff. Damages resulting from a medical malpractice lawsuit usually include compensation for current and future medical costs, as well as punitive damages.

A recently filed Illinois medical malpractice lawsuit alleges that a woman’s cancer was not diagnosed or treated, resulting in late diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma.

The complaint maintains that the medical care providers failed to adequately perform or interpret a pathology report that would have indicated a diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma, a very serious type of uterine cancer. Additionally, the lawsuit states that because of the delayed diagnosis the woman was not treated in a timely manner, ultimately worsening her condition. The lawsuit requests damages greater than $50,000.

If you or someone you love has paid for a doctor’s negligence, if you are living with consequences of a misdiagnosis, or if a loved one died because of a doctor’s negligence, it may be important to contact a medical malpractice attorney. You may be able to recover damages for lost income, extensive medical bills, or/and funeral expenses.

Typically, medical malpractice lawsuits will take years to resolve. A financially strapped plaintiff is a target for any insurance company. That is where lawsuit funding can help.

Lawsuit funding is a service that provides victims and their families with financial assistance to help get through the long litigation process. Without this option, desperate plaintiffs are often forced, by greedy insurance companies, to settlements too soon, for too little.

Lawsuit funding is there when you need it most – risk-free. There are no up-front charges, no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no hassle. Best of all, if you lose your case, you owe us nothing.

When Plaintiffs of Medical Negligence Face Mounting Bills and Few Options, Litigation Funding is a Perfect Solution

One of the most common medical mistakes is the failure to diagnose a medical condition. Such actions can prevent a patient from receive treatment which could significantly impact their condition. When health care providers breach their duty of care to you, they should be held accountable. Once a lawsuit has been filed, lawsuit funding may help stay the course until a settlement is reached.

A Chicago woman recently filed a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging negligence on the part of multiple health care providers.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that she suffered serious physical injuries, including being left legally blind, after the defendants allegedly repeatedly failed to diagnose a tumor from 2012-2016. The lawsuit names several doctors and medical facilities as defendants in the case. The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendants in an amount greater than $50,000.

The time it takes to reach a settlement in a medical malpractice claim depends on the complexity and strength of the case. The last thing this woman needs to worry about is how to keep up with her financial obligations.

When plaintiffs are facing mounting bills and few options, pre-settlement litigation funding could be the perfect solution.

Litigation funding helps financially-strapped plaintiffs handle unexpected medical bills and ordinary living expenses. When plaintiffs are financially stable, they can remain in a case longer in order to pursue a larger settlement.

Funding is not provided against assets, but rather the strength of the case and the potential settlement. There are no out-of-pocket fees, no credit checks, no income requirements and no employment verification. Once case documentation is reviewed and the strength of the case determined, if approved, the money can be available within 24 – 48 hours.

Repayment is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If the case is lost, Lawsuit Financial would not require repayment. That is because we assume all the risks.

If you are living with consequences of a medical mistake, the last thing you need to worry about is how to keep up with financial obligations. Rather than worry about money problems or letting a financial emergency force you and your attorney to settle your medical negligence case for less than you deserve when Lawsuit Financial may have the mechanism you need to pay your bills, keep your credit standing, and fight for your rights.

Lawsuit Financial Offers Financial Stability In Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death Cases

When a doctor does not provide proper treatment it can lead to serious complications or the death of the patient. Victims of medical malpractice or their families may be able to file a lawsuit against the doctor and/or hospital, seeking compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Once a lawsuit is filed, those suffering financially can apply for litigation funding.

The family of a deceased man recently filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against a doctor and medical facility claiming negligence resulted in the death of their loved one. According to the suit, after the man went to the hospital seeking medical treatment, doctors failed to request cardiac testing and therefore failed to diagnose a serious heart condition. The patient was discharged with no instructions or further medical attention given. He later suffered a heart attack and died. The lawsuit alleges that the doctor’s negligence caused the man’s heart condition to go undiagnosed and untreated, ultimately leading to his death.

Given the nature of this situation, a possible wrongful death involving a medical error or misdiagnosis, it may take years before the case goes to court and/or culminates in a settlement or award. No one has limitless financial strength. Plaintiffs often face financial hardship trying to make ends meet with ordinary cost of living expenses, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and the loss of income. When this happens, litigation funding may be a viable solution.

Litigation funding is a cash advance against the future settlement of the case, often be approved within 24 – 48 hours. It helps a plaintiff remain in a case longer in order to pursue a larger, more favorable settlement. There are no up-front fees or monthly payments and no credit checks or employment verification. Best of all, repayment is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If the case is lost, repayment of the cash advance is completely waived. Although there are no restrictions as to how the money is used, litigation funding should be used sparingly and wisely. It should be used to pay for life’s necessities such as food, medical bills, mortgage payments and other important daily expenses that become difficult due to serious injury, disability or death.

Were you or a loved one the victim of medical negligence? Pain and suffering, emotional stress, and loss of income are only a few of the reasons you may be able to file a medical negligence claim. An attorney can help determine if you have a winnable case and help you seek the compensation you deserve. After filing a lawsuit, if you need financial assistance while waiting for justice to be served, contact a Lawsuit Financial to discuss your case funding situation.

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.

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.

Minnesota Auto Mechanic Awarded $9.1 Million In Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

A Minnesota jury recently awarded an auto mechanic a $9.1 million verdict stemming from a 2012 medical malpractice lawsuit. Joseph Lakoskey sued his anesthesiologists after suffering spinal cord damage and paralysis in a 2012 surgery. According to the complaint, Lakoskey became ill with flu-like symptoms and sought treatment at North Memorial Medical Center. After being treated for dehydration, doctors determined he was suffering from a perforated bowel and recommended surgery. What happened next changed his life forever.

According to the lawsuit, Lakoskey’s treatment for dehydration was halted while he was started on anesthesia. This left him dangerously dehydrated during surgery which caused his blood pressure to drop and his spinal cord to get inadequate blood flow. As a result, Lakoskey sustained a spinal cord injury and paralysis. He tried returning to work after losing the use of his legs, but eventually sold the business. While intensive therapy helped him gain strength and mobility to the point that he could use a walker, he was forced to stop rehabilitation when grant and insurance funding ran out. He said the money from the lawsuit will allow him to replace his broken-down wheelchair and resume therapy.

This is an example of a medical malpractice victim that could have benefited from lawsuit funding. Had Mr. Lakoskey contacted Lawsuit Financial, we could have provide him with a lawsuit cash advance to continue his therapy while his case progressed through the legal process.
