Atlanta Failure to Diagnosis Medical Malpractice Attorney

A careless medical professional may miss the warning signs of a serious illness. Many illnesses can be prevented or lessened if caught early. The Olson Law Firm, LLC, utilizes top-notch medical experts to evaluate medical records to determine whether a medical professional provided competent care and treatment.

Missing your symptoms can have serious consequences

Most cases of failure to diagnose a medical condition is the result of inattention to detail. Some failure to diagnose cases include:

• Stroke or TIA: A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a type of mini stroke. A mini stroke may last only a short period of time, but cannot be ignored. A TIA may lead to a severe stoke in the future.

• Cancer: Because of advances in modern medicine, may types of cancer can be treated if caught in a timely fashion.

• Heart Attack: Some heart attacks may be prevented through the collective diligence of the physician and his/her patient.

• Bacterial meningitis: This bacterial infection may lead to death or permanent disability if a person is not treated quickly.

• Septic shock: This condition is when the body is overwhelmed with a systemic infection. If sepsis is not diagnosed quickly, the systemic infection may compromise bodily organs. If untreated for a prolonged period of time, sepsis may permanently damage vital organs, including the lungs, heart, kidneys, and brain.
