Very helpful and excellent staff and lawyers. Helped us receive peace of mind and helped settle our case with our young son that passed away. Without them we wouldn't have some of the closure that we now have. John was excellent and always answered our questions and was available when we needed him.

Heart Attacks
There are many cases in which patients go to the ER complaining of chest pain, but leave after being treated for gastrointestinal problems (if they’re treated at all). There are similarities between the symptoms of intestinal issues and heart attacks, and a misdiagnosis can prove deadly.

Bone Fractures
Broken bones that are not set, or set incorrectly, can cause debilitating pain and disability, requiring extensive treatment down the road. Our personal injury and medical malpractice lawyers have the expertise necessary to build a compelling and factual case on your behalf, helping you to secure the compensation you deserve.
A Misdiagnosis Can Lead to Tragedy
A misdiagnosis can make your medical condition life-threatening due to:
Mistreatment
If you or your loved one has been misdiagnosed, they are most likely not receiving the treatment that will heal their condition. This can lead to worse symptoms, surgery, and more serious physical health issues.
Delayed Treatment
A misdiagnosis can result in no treatment at all, or the correct treatment being delayed. In many medical cases, the timing of receiving treatment is crucial because the condition may eventually become terminal.
No Treatment
A misdiagnosis can lead to your doctor prescribing no treatment at all. This can result in worse symptoms and can cause the patient to be sick for a prolonged period or eventually lose their life.
