Ohio Pulmonary Embolism Misdiagnosis Lawyer

A Pulmonary Embolism is a blood clot in the lungs. It can rapidly lead to death, sometimes within 30 minutes, if the clot is not diagnosed and treated promptly. The Mayo Clinic reports that about one-third of people whose Pulmonary Embolism remains undiagnosed do not survive. It is critical to obtain a correct diagnosis quickly and begin proper treatment. At the Ohio law firm of Dyer, Garofalo, Mann & Schultz L.P.A., our lawyers handle medical malpractice cases including those that involve a delayed diagnosis of a Pulmonary Embolism.

Attorneys Seeking Compensation for Clients

Our law firm has recovered significant awards for people who suffered an undiagnosed Pulmonary Embolism or whose loved one died because an Embolism was not timely diagnosed. We have been able to obtain compensation and damages for medical bills, future medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering and other losses, costs and damages.

Factors in Misdiagnosis and Mistreatment of Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary Embolisms can be misdiagnosed due to:

• Failure to take a full medical and family history
• Failure to ask if the patient was recently on a long plane trip, which can contribute to the formation of blood clots
• Failure to find out whether the patient recently had surgery
• Failure to determine whether the patient was taking drugs known to be associated with the formation of blood clots, such as birth control pills or Dinoprostone

Failure to treat a blood clot that could lead to a Pulmonary Embolism can also be medical malpractice. If a physician does not treat a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) with blood thinners, it may break off and cause a Pulmonary Embolism.

Lawyers Building Strong Cases

Our attorneys listen carefully to clients, seeking the complete story of their medical treatment. In addition to our attorneys who have medical backgrounds, we also consult with medical experts who advise us about standards of care, drug interactions and other factors that might be relevant to a case.
