Delayed Treatment and Wrongful Death
There are few times in one’s life when they are as fully dependent upon the skills, knowledge, and judgment of others as when he or she becomes seriously ill. Unfortunately, this also means that most people are unable to detect that they may be very sick, dismissing symptoms instead as those caused by a commonplace cold or flu virus. When matters become transparently grave, it is of the utmost importance that a patient can see a physician swiftly, so that the appropriate diagnostic examinations and treatments can be administered in time to save his or her life.
Sadly, there are many families that must cope with the painful loss of a loved one each year when negligent healthcare providers or facilities fail to act quickly enough. If you have experienced this devastating blow as a result of delayed treatment, contact the Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511.
Emergent and Progressive Conditions
There is no room for mistakes when the life of a patient may hang in the balance. But decisions made due to relationships with insurance companies or drug makers, or due to other profit motives can further endanger the individuals whose health is at risk. In some cases, patients have literally died while waiting unattended to in the emergency room’s waiting area, having spent hours there. Delayed treatment can be especially costly when the following are involved and not caught in time:
- Brain/Head Injuries
- Appendicitis
- Meningitis
- Internal Bleeding
- Cancer
