Heart Attack & Stroke

Stamford, Connecticut, Medical Malpractice Attorneys

A person experiencing a heart attack can have many different symptoms. Familiar symptoms include chest pain and pain radiating down the left arm. Less familiar symptoms include light-headedness, nausea, and a cold sweat. Regardless of how the symptoms present themselves, the results can be deadly if not treated promptly and properly.

In a medical setting where doctors and nurses are trained to identify and treat heart attacks, congestive heart failure, unstable angina and stroke, misdiagnosis and lack of treatment can have tragic results. Unfortunately, it happens every day in hospitals, emergency rooms and clinics across our nation.

If your loved one became disabled or died as a result of the delayed diagnosis or treatment of heart disease or stroke, contact the Stamford medical malpractice lawyers at Silver Golub & Teitell, LLP. We represent injured people and grieving families throughout Connecticut in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.

Do You Have a Medical Negligence Claim?

Often family members are unclear if medical negligence contributed to their loved one's injuries or death. They don't want to hold a doctor or emergency room responsible for a medical condition for which they could do nothing. Neither do we. It certainly is true that a bad outcome does not necessarily mean medical malpractice.

However, when a premature death or serious disability occurs and there is a question about whether standard medical procedures were followed, it's vital to investigate. Successful medical malpractice cases have brought dangerous shortcomings in hospital procedures to light, changing the way hospital and staff provide care and saving lives.
