Has Your Child Suffered Due to a Misdiagnosed Infection?
Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are aware of the danger infections pose to children. When infections are diagnosed early through blood tests, urine tests, radiology tests and other means, they are typically easy to treat and cure. However, misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of infection can result in severe medical complications and, all too often, brain damage or wrongful death.
Failures in the diagnosis and treatment of child infections include:
- Failing to prescribe antibiotics
- Prescribing the wrong antibiotic or dosage
- Hospital errors leading to unclean conditions
- Failing to monitor children in post-op
In cases involving child infections, we must assess the full extent of the damages the child will face in the short and long term. Because the child may be affected for the rest of his or her life, we must consider ongoing needs in regard to medical treatment, physical therapy and adaptive equipment. Our lawyers are focused on helping your child obtain full and fair compensation for the injuries suffered due to misdiagnosis of infection.
