Failure to Diagnose

A doctor's failure to diagnose cancer, heart attack, stroke or another life-threatening condition can lead to devastating results. Doctors are supposed to be able to recognize symptoms, make an accurate diagnosis and act quickly to save lives. Even good doctors sometimes fail to do so and lives are lost or forever changed.

Pursuing compensation for cases involving the failure to diagnose a serious condition is extremely complicated. Additionally, the Court places certain restrictions on the amount of recovery available in medical malpractice lawsuits. As such, it can be very difficult to find an attorney who is willing and prepared to help those who have suffered permanent injury or the loss of a loved one due to this preventable medical error.

At Miller Weisbrod Olesky, LLP, we stand up for the rights of individuals and families who suffered harm due to the negligence of doctors, nurses, hospitals and other health care workers. For more information, please contact us to discuss your case with an experienced Texas medical malpractice lawyer.

Unexpected situations often arise in the recovery room following major or minor surgery. When doctors or post-operative nurses fail to react to such emergencies, patients can suffer catastrophic injuries such as:

• Brain damage
• Spinal cord damage
• Infection
• Wrongful death

Our firm has a long history of maximizing recoveries on behalf of individuals who have suffered such injuries due to medical negligence. We have a proven track record of results of holding negligent health care workers financially responsible for otherwise unnecessary medical expenses, permanent care costs, and the pain and suffering our clients have endured.

When a recovery room nurse failed to recognize a serious post-surgical complication, a middle-aged woman, our client, sustained a catastrophic brain injury. Miller Weisbrod Olesky recovered $7,850,000* to assist her and her family with the life-altering complications she now must endure.

*A contingent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $2,093,333.00 and $96,905.46 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
