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 Files Lawsuit Alleging Negligence during Spine Procedure

A woman has filed a lawsuit alleging insufficient measures were taken to prevent injuries during a spine procedure.

The complaint against a doctor and other health care providers alleges that the defendants placed a halo device on her head on Dec. 17, 2014, and subsequently tightened it, which caused protrusion into her brain. Two months later, she was taken to a hospital for headache and difficulty speaking. A CAT scan showed pneumocephalus, a condition in which gas is present in the skull. She was transferred to emergency to repair a spinal fluid leak.

The plaintiff alleges that as a result of medical negligence she suffered severe and permanent injuries, lost earning, and medical expenses. She holds the defendants responsible for allegedly failing to properly place the screws to affix the halo to her head, failing to properly evaluate the halo device, and failing to timely diagnose the protrusion of the screws.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks monetary relief of more than $200,000.

Filing, fighting, and winning a medical malpractice case is a complex process that can take a long time before it goes to court and/or culminates in a settlement or award. No one has limitless financial strength; victims may be living paycheck to paycheck or drowning in medical expenses, and other financial obligations. Once the plaintiff retains an attorney and files a claim, he/she is eligible for lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance against a pending lawsuit that acts to supplement a plaintiff’s loss of income and help with unexpected expenses. The cash advance allows plaintiffs the ability to wait for a fair settlement without the financial pressure to settle too early for too little.

The application process takes less than five minutes. With no credit checks and no employment verification, the approval process can happen in less than 48 hours. All that is needed is case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney. If approved, a cash advance that could be wired to his bank account within 24 - 48 hours of approval. An important aspect of lawsuit funding is that it is provided on a non-recourse basis. This means that if the plaintiff loses the case, repayment of the advance is null and void. We only get paid back if, and when, a successful recovery on the case is made.

Woman Files Lawsuit Alleging she was implanted with Defective Inferior Vena Cava Filter

Medical devices can improve and save lives, but when manufacturers fail to properly ensure that their products are designed with safety in mind, they should be held legally accountable for the injuries incurred. A defective product lawsuit may be necessary to compensate an innocent victim, alert the public about the dangerous product, and create an economic incentive for the manufacturing company to produce safe products and provide sufficient warning of the dangers of their products, ultimately resulting in the saving of lives. For those in a medical device lawsuit, in need of emergency cash, Lawsuit Financial can help.

A California woman has filed a lawsuit claiming medical device companies manufactured a defective model of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter, a device used to prevent pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs).

The IVC filter first entered the market in June 2009, after receiving clearance from the FDA. The filter is a small mesh strainer placed in the center of the IVC to trap clots going to the heart of lungs. It may be left in place permanently or can be removed from the blood vessel later, when the risk of a clot traveling to the lung has passed.

In this case, the plaintiff was implanted with the device in September 2014. Subsequently, in April 2016, her doctor attempted surgical retrieval of the filter, but was unable to do so because the retrieval hook at the apex of the filter had become embedded into the wall of the plaintiff’s vena cava. The doctor also attempted to utilize a retrieval snare to extract the filter to no avail, according to the claim.

The lawsuit states that the defendants negligently manufactured a defective and unsafe product, did not warn customers of its flaws, and put a product on the market which may lead a patient to suffer “severe health side effects, including, but not limited to: hemorrhage; cardiac/pericardial tamponade; cardiac arrhythmia and other symptoms similar to myocardial infarction; perforations of tissue, vessels and organs; and other severe personal injuries and diseases.”

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in damages.

Lawsuits against medical companies can be time-consuming and costly. When a plaintiff needs help to regain control of their finances, lawsuit funding can help.

At Lawsuit Financial, we understand that during a lengthy litigation process bills can pile up, resulting in financial hardship. To qualify for funding, all you need is a strong case and attorney representation. We require no monthly payments, no credit checks, and you do not need to be employed. With our quick and easy litigation funding services, we can put no-risk cash in your pocket within 24 – 48 hours of receiving and application and pertinent case documentation. The cash advance can be spent on whatever you want, but is typically used to pay medical expenses, mortgage or rent, car payments, utilities, or supplement loss of income. Repayment is only made once your case settles; if you lose the case, repayment is waived.

A woman has filed a lawsuit against a doctor who allegedly failed to properly diagnose her condition before nasal surgery. As a result, the plaintiff alleges she sustained severe and permanent physical injuries. She holds the doctor responsible for allegedly removing excess nasal tissue, leaving her with a perforation and deformity.

The plaintiff, who is representing herself in the matter, seeks judgment against the defendant in an amount greater than $50,000 plus court costs.

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. 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. Contact Lawsuit Financial toll-free at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848), or complete our online contact form.

Lawsuit Funding For Pharmacy Errors

As patients, we place a great deal of trust in our pharmacies to ensure that our prescriptions are filled correctly. We know the pharmacist or technician reads the doctor prescription, pulls the medication off the shelf, counts out the pills, puts them in a vial, and puts on a label with instructions. Easy, right? Wrong!

Medication errors occur far too often. Common examples of medication errors include the failure to fill the prescription with the correct medicine, filling the prescription with the correct medicine but in the wrong dosage, and giving a patient another person’s prescription. While the vast majority of these mistakes may not lead to serious injury, some prescription errors can have devastating consequences, including death. But, if pharmacists are required to complete hours of training and know about drugs and their reactions, how does this happened? The person who enters the prescription into the computer, pulls the medicine, and places it in a vial, and affixes the label is not always the pharmacist. In addition to the pharmacists, there are a number of other people involved in the prescription filling process, including pharmacy clerks, pharmacy technicians, and other staff. Furthermore, some states do not have medical requirements for technicians, and some may have nothing more than a high school diploma and some on-the-job-training. Of course, the pharmacist should check the technician, but that may not always happen. Many times the pharmacy is understaffed or a pharmacist is alone to fill prescriptions, answer phones, and run the cash register. All this creates multiple instances during which errors can occur.

Do not take the mechanics of your prescription transactions for granted and don’t assume nothing can go wrong. You can help ensure a medication error does not happen to you by knowing your medication and checking the label and actual pill. Medications have specified marks on them, such as the drug name, number, code and this identification is also noted on the prescription bottle. Additionally, make sure your doctor knows what other medications you are taking, and any allergies you may have. Ask him/her to write down “clearly and legible” what he/she is prescribing, the dosage, and any other important information. Share all this information with the pharmacist. Pharmacists receive much more information about prescription drugs than a doctor. Double check what you receive.

The best option if you have been a victim of a medication error is to contact an experienced attorney who can fully investigate your claim and determine if you have been the victim of pharmacy negligence. While waiting for the settlement of your case, you may go through an emotionally and financially difficult time. This is when lawsuit funding can be a powerful tool.

A lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial can help you with various expenses that come as part of the litigation process, such as loss of wages and medical expenses. This money is not provided against an asset; rather, it is given against the potential settlement of the case. Lawsuit funding ensures that your expenses are covered until your case reaches a settlement. This is not as same as a loan; you only pay the advance back if you win your case. If you lose your case, you are not obligated to repay the money. Let us help with your financial burdens until your lawsuit settles. Call us at 1-877-377- SUIT (7848) for a free consultation.

Record-Setting Judgment In Wrongful-Death Lawsuit For Medical Misdiagnosis

When a medical professional misdiagnoses a patient’s symptoms, it can often leading to a course of treatment that is inappropriate, even dangerous. If any harm resulting from a medical misdiagnosis could have been prevented, the patient may have a viable medical malpractice lawsuit. To understand your legal rights, it is important to contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney. Once the litigation process is underway, a lawsuit cash advance can help pay the bills until justice is done and compensation is received.

An Illinois jury recently awarded $950,000 in damages to the family of a 73-year-old man who died at a Gibson City hospital following the misdiagnosis of his medical condition. The patient was treated in the emergency room on October 6 and 7, 2008 complaining of chest pains. He was diagnosed with a peptic ulcer, released, and told to follow up with his primary care physician. He was subsequently admitted to the hospital on October 9, under the care of his primary care physician. The lawsuit alleged the physician failed to order appropriate tests and refer the patient to a cardiologist. The patient died in the medical/surgical unit six days after he originally sought treatment. A subsequent autopsy showed no ulcer and that the cause of his death was actually “hemo-pericardium with a transmural rupture of the left ventricle.” The jury verdict was returned after only four hours of deliberation. It is the first and largest medical malpractice verdict returned by a jury in favor of a plaintiff in Ford County, according to the family’s attorney.

Such a lengthy litigation process is not uncommon for medical misdiagnosis lawsuits. Sadly, plaintiffs do not have the deep pockets like hospitals and insurance companies. They typically can’t afford to wait forever for a settlement without feeling some financial stress. Lawsuit Financial helps innocent victims like this family seek fair and just compensation for medical negligence. We provide lawsuit funding to help pay medical expenses and the plaintiff’s daily household bills until justice is served and compensation received. Unlike a bank loan, there are no credit checks, employment verifications, or monthly payments. All that is required for approval is a one-page application and case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney. Best of all, our clients owe nothing until the case settled, at which time repayment is made from the proceeds of the case.

Don’t be forced into an unfair settlement. If you are in a pending lawsuit and have no other avenues of financial assistance, consider lawsuit funding. Contact Lawsuit Financial for a free no-obligation consultation or to apply.

A Misdiagnosed Case of Tuberculosis Leaves a Man Paralyzed From the Waist Do

A 26-year-old Florida man has filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against more than a dozen health-care providers, including Orlando Health, alleging failure to diagnose him with tuberculosis ultimately led to his paralysis from the waist down.

At the time of the alleged negligence, the man was employed by the Orange County Utilities Department. According to the lawsuit, he began experiencing back pain in June 2012. After several doctor visits, a 10-day stay at Orlando Regional Medical Center in September 2012, and a rheumatologist visit in January 2013. The suit alleges that the pathologists failed to properly interpret a biopsy of a lymph node which clearly showed findings that are indicative of tuberculosis. The rheumatologist diagnosed him with rheumatoid arthritis and administered a shot of HUMIRA, which is not to be given to patients with tuberculosis. Within four days of the injection, the man began feeling numb from the waist down. He went to the Orlando Regional Medical Center emergency room where he was diagnosed with complete paraplegia; the doctor said an infectious disease was an unlikely cause. In January 2013, the now paralyzed man was sent to University of Florida Health – Shands Hospital where he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. In fact, doctors at Shands said there was no evidence he ever had rheumatoid arthritis, according to the lawsuit. The Florida Department of Health was notified and the man immediately began the appropriate TB medication.

According to the lawsuit, the patient is paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair for life as a result of medical negligence and a failure by health-care providers and health-care facilities to provide reasonable medical care and treatment. The plaintiff’s attorney said medical bills have amounted to more than a half-million dollars and the economic damages will be in the millions. The attorney also pointed to a TB outbreak in 2011-2012 in Jacksonville, which CDC officials characterized as "one of the most extensive TB outbreaks" since the early 1990s. The Palm Beach Post headline in July 2012 read, "Worst TB outbreak in 20 years kept secret."

Most likely, this is the first time the plaintiff has been involved in a medical malpractice lawsuit. He may not be aware that it will most likely take years before a settlement or verdict is reached. In fact, the healthcare providers will inevitably prolong the litigation process in an attempt to force the plaintiff to settle the claim for much less than full case value just to meet his financial needs. This plaintiff may have a fighting chance to maximize his settlement with the help of lawsuit funding from Lawsuit Financial.

Lawsuit Financial provides funding based on the merits and strength of the lawsuit, not personal or work history.  We don’t even require monthly payments. A lawsuit cash advance can be used to pay the mortgage, medical expenses, expenses to retrofit a home for wheelchair accessibility, or daily household expenses. There are no restrictions on how the money is used. Once we receive an application and case documentation, our experienced staff works fast to review a case and making a funding decision within 24 – 48 hours. Best of all, funding is provided on a non-recourse basis.  This means that repayment of the cash advance is only made once the plaintiff successfully settles the claim. If the case is lost, our repayment is lost.
