Have you or a loved one suffered a heart attack due to medical negligence?

Heart Attack Negligence Attorneys

You’re not alone. Every year, countless individuals in Florida experience heart attacks that could have been prevented with proper medical care. When healthcare professionals fail to diagnose or treat heart conditions in a timely manner, the consequences can be devastating—even life-threatening.

Understanding Heart Attack Medical Negligence

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, often due to a blood clot or buildup of plaque in the arteries.

Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent permanent heart damage or death. Medical professionals have a duty to recognize these symptoms and take immediate action. Failure to do so may constitute medical negligence.

Common Warning Signs:

Chest Pain or Discomfort

Often described as pressure, squeezing, or fullness in the chest.

Pain in Other Areas

Discomfort in one or both arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach.

Shortness of Breath

May occur with or without chest discomfort.

Other Symptoms

Cold sweats, nausea, lightheadedness, or sudden dizziness.

How Medical Negligence Leads to Heart Attacks

Errors can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, increasing the risk of a heart attack or worsening its severity. Medical malpractice can occur when doctors or healthcare providers:

Fail to Order Necessary Tests: Such as EKGs, stress tests, or blood work.
Misinterpret Test Results: Overlooking signs of heart disease.
Ignore Risk Factors: Including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, or family history.
Delay Treatment: Not acting promptly when symptoms are present.
Prescribe Incorrect Medications: Or improper dosages that exacerbate the condition.
