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.

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. 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.

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.
