    What Happened

    Our firm successfully resolved a medical malpractice case involving the failure to diagnose a serious pediatric condition, resulting in devastating and permanent injuries. Despite multiple warning signs and opportunities to perform additional testing and treatment, the child's condition went unrecognized until she suffered catastrophic complications.

    The delayed diagnosis led to severe medical deterioration, including cardiac arrest and permanent brain injury requiring extensive treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care. Evidence showed that timely diagnosis and intervention would have significantly changed the child's outcome.
