Jacksonville Failure to Diagnose Stroke Attorney

Strokes come in two different kinds. The first is a hemorrhagic stroke, and it occurs when a blood vessel inside the brain is injured and bleeds. The second and most common kind of stroke is an ischemic stroke. It is caused when an artery to the brain is blocked by a blood clot or any other obstruction.

If the stroke victim receives prompt treatment, the effects of an ischemic stroke can often be reversed. However, many hospital staff members fail to recognize the signs and symptoms of a stroke or provide the right treatment in time, resulting in permanent brain injury or the death of your loved one. In such cases, the victim and his or her family may have a medical malpractice case.

Holding Military Doctors Accountable For Misdiagnosis Of A Stroke

Military doctors are not immune to making mistakes. If a military doctor misdiagnosed or failed to treat you for an ischemic stroke, you have recourse. The Federal Tort Claims Act and Military Claims Act impose serious restrictions on a military member’s ability to file a medical malpractice claim against a military doctor or hospital. Our lawyers understand the challenges associated with military medical malpractice claims and know how to fight for the compensation that you deserve.
