    Misdiagnoses

    North Carolina Medical Misdiagnosis Lawyers

    Every year, millions of Americans visit emergency rooms and hospitals exhibiting symptoms consistent with any number of illnesses or health conditions. When doctors fail to run proper diagnostic tests or diagnose heart attacks, meningitis, bleeding ulcers, or strokes, the consequences are devastating for patients. At the Law Offices of Wade E. Byrd we subpoena emergency room records, interview hospital staff, and review actions taken by healthcare providers that resulted in a misdiagnosis. Working with medical experts in every field of medicine, we identify breakdowns in procedure, poor communication, and incompetent medical treatment that contributed to a misdiagnosis of our client’s condition.

    We uncover the facts and information healthcare providers are ashamed to admit to – contact North Carolina medical misdiagnoses lawyers at the Law Offices of Wade E. Byrd and schedule a free consultation to discuss your case. Located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, we represent clients in Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia.

    A Failure to Diagnose

    Our medical malpractice attorneys represent clients involving the following kinds of cases of medical misdiagnoses:

    • stroke
    • aneurism
    • meningitis
    • pneumonia
    • heart attack
    • bone fractures
    • internal bleeding
    • high blood pressure during pregnancy

    Recovering Medical Expenses and Lost Wages

    Misdiagnosed medical conditions often result in complications that lead to a need for further medical treatment and time away from work. Working one-on-one with our clients, our medical malpractice lawyers consult economic impact analysts to accurately determine what your misdiagnosed conditions means to you financially.

    Considering costs from the point of view of lost wages, additional medical expenses, and a loss in quality of life, we demand settlements and awards that provide financial security and compensation for our clients. When disability, chronic health problems, or death results from medical misdiagnoses, victims and their families deserve compensation that restores to them, in some measure, what was unnecessarily taken from them.
