Consequences of a misdiagnosed blood clot
The consequences of a misdiagnosed blood clot or delayed diagnosis can vary depending on the kind of blood clot. Specifically:
- Deep vein thrombosis is usually in the legs or pelvis. It can cause chronic swelling and limb pain, and, if it is dislodged, it can travel to the lungs and cause you to develop a pulmonary embolism.
- Arterial clots. Clots that prevent oxygen from traveling to your heart or brain can result in a heart attack, stroke, severe tissue damage, brain damage, limb damage, and lasting paralysis.
When complications of a blood clot occur, the resulting damage you suffer may be serious, permanent, or even fatal. If the misdiagnosis resulted from medical negligence, or a failure on the part of your doctor or care provider to correctly diagnose and treat you, you may be able to recover compensation from the doctor who failed to live up to a professional standard of care.
Other defendants could include those who employed the negligent provider, as vicarious liability laws make hospitals and other healthcare facilities liable for negligence on the job committed by employees.
