What are the most common misdiagnoses in the medical field?

2024-03-25T21:34:53Z

Diagnosis is one of the most important services a medical doctor provides to patients. In some instances, a variety of different maladies can cause similar symptoms. The average person has little way of knowing whether they have a cold or something more serious. A doctor should ask appropriate questions and order tests or imaging in order to get to the true cause of someone's symptoms. The diagnostic process should rule out more serious and concerning conditions before honing in on the likely cause of someone's complaints. Unfortunately, personal bias, distraction and stress can all affect how well a doctor diagnoses a patient. Sometimes, doctors misdiagnose their patients and determine the wrong underlying cause for major symptoms. When this happens, a patient may not get the care that they need or could undergo treatments that they don't require. Roughly 795,000 people each year experience medical consequences of misdiagnosis. Certain types of conditions are more likely to be misdiagnosed than others. What maladies have the strongest association with diagnostic errors?

Cancers are at the top of the list

Cancer often starts in a local area and then spreads to other parts of the body. Cancers frequently produce relatively generic symptoms at first, such as the loss of appetite and a persistent sense of fatigue. Sometimes, doctors to quickly conclude that something less serious is the cause of someone's symptoms when they actually have cancer. Multiple types of cancer are among the 10 most commonly misdiagnosed illnesses. Those cancers include:

colorectal cancer
lung cancer
breast cancer
prostate cancer
bladder cancer

Colorectal cancer currently holds the ignoble title of being the disease that doctors are most likely to misdiagnose.

Pulmonary and neurological issues are often misdiagnosed

Heart attacks and strokes are among the most pressing medical emergencies that patients experience. These conditions require immediate intervention in order to prevent permanent brain damage and death. A myocardial infarction (heart attack) is among the most-overlooked medical issues. Strokes, pulmonary embolisms, and brain hemorrhages also see high rates of diagnostic failure. Unfortunately, doctors often overlook the early warning signs of severe medical events. Particularly when a patient is younger than average or female, a doctor might rush to another diagnostic conclusion before ruling out these severe medical issues. Sepsis, pneumonia, heart failure, kidney failure and urinary tract infections are also frequently misdiagnosed. If a misdiagnosis altered the care that a patient receives, resulting in a serious injury or death, that patient or their loved ones may have grounds to pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit. Depending on the factual circumstances of the case, a medical malpractice lawsuit can seek to obtain compensation for past and future medical expenses incurred as a result of misdiagnosis, lost wages associated with the injuries suffered, pain, suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, and loss of a normal life caused by the diagnostic failure.

What makes malpractice cases against doctors hard to win?

2024-01-03T16:34:22Z

People file medical malpractice lawsuits for many different issues. Sometimes, new parents request compensation because they believe medical professionals caused their child's birth injuries. Other times, those who lose a loved one because of a massive mistake during the surgery might allege that the tragedy involved medical malpractice. Most hospitals and medical professionals carry medical malpractice insurance to protect against patients' allegations financially damaging the organization. However, patients struggling with major losses after a medical mistake may find that it is quite difficult to pursue a medical malpractice claim. What makes a malpractice claim so difficult to win?

Patients may lack necessary knowledge

People seek out professional medical care because they are not experts on human anatomy and current medical treatment options. They rely on a physician to determine the underlying cause of their symptoms and recommend the right kind of care. They may have a difficult time recognizing when a doctor did not perform their job in a professional manner. Care standards and best practices for different categories of medical specialization are crucial for patient protection. Individual patients may be unfamiliar with the standards that might apply in their case. It may only be the negative outcome of their care, rather than specific mistakes, that makes them suspect medical malpractice. Patients and grieving family members often need to consult with an outside medical professional to establish that a doctor deviated from best practices and a lawyer to determine if they are in a position to take legal action. It can be difficult to prove that a physician did something that another doctor would not have done. It can also be difficult to prove that their worsening condition was the result of a doctor's choice or negligence.

Injured patients may depend on internal records

Physicians and their employers are well aware of how costly medical malpractice can be. Therefore, they may choose to obfuscate the truth when maintaining internal records. Misrepresenting a situation or choosing to not include specific details in someone's medical records are both ways for individual healthcare practitioners and medical facilities to attempt to limit liability for malpractice incidents. Patients may have a hard time getting adequate supporting evidence showing that a physician made a mistake or did something negligent while providing their care. The average person already coping with the loss of a loved one or a major medical incident likely does not have the knowledge or personal resources to handle investigating and negotiating with a corporate entity. Thankfully, although winning a medical malpractice case can be challenging, seeking legal guidance during a medical malpractice claim can help people obtain the right evidence, validate that malpractice occurred and demand justice for their own suffering or what happened to a loved one.

2 important statistics about commercial vehicle crashes

2023-07-25T12:47:39Z

Traffic statistics help to provide insight for individual motorists and those tasked with protecting public safety, like lawmakers and police departments. The information that law enforcement officers and regulatory officials gather related to car crashes can help drive new policies, inform road or vehicle design and influence personal behavior. Some of the most dangerous events on the road involve semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles. Motorists who are familiar with the statistics about such collisions may be in a better position to make safety-conscious choices for their own protection in traffic. The following two statistics might help prompt better decisions on the part of those who find that they’re traveling close to commercial trucks in traffic.

Commercial drivers are often at fault for wrecks

Many people automatically assume that commercial crashes are often a fault of those in smaller vehicles. After all, it takes less training to get a basic driver's license than it does to secure a commercial driver's license (CDL). However, analysis of commercial crash data reveals that in many cases, the bigger vehicle is the one to blame for a wreck. In 55% of collisions involving semi-trucks, it will be the large commercial vehicles, not these smaller passenger vehicles, that are ultimately to blame for the collision.

People in smaller vehicles assume most of the risk

Commercial collisions often seem very unfair in part because the majority of risk falls to the people in the smaller vehicles who may not have caused the crash. According to the analysis of commercial crashes performed by the National Safety Council, truck occupants only make up 17% of the fatalities reported in crashes involving commercial vehicles. The occupants of the commercial truck are much less likely to die or to suffer life-altering physical injuries than the people in smaller vehicles. That disproportionate distribution of risk is undoubtedly one of the reasons why commercial vehicles have much higher insurance requirements than most passenger vehicles. Those injured in a commercial crash or grieving after the death of a loved one may find that these statistics give them more confidence or certainty about their decision to pursue compensation. Learning more about the aftermath of truck collisions may inspire people to demand justice from the civil courts when others cause them harm.

Options for loved ones who lost someone to a wrongful death

2023-06-13T19:48:50Z

Losing a loved one is a devastating experience, and when that loss results from wrongful death, the emotional burden becomes even heavier. Wrongful death is when an individual dies due to another party’s negligence, misconduct or intentional actions. In such cases, the surviving family members can seek justice and compensation for their loss. Here’s an overview of the options available to loved ones who have lost someone this way:

Filing a wrongful death lawsuit

One of the primary options available to loved ones is to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This action aims to hold the responsible party accountable for their actions and help seek financial compensation for the damages caused. Wrongful death lawsuits typically involve establishing that the responsible party had a legal duty to act with a certain standard of care and that they failed to do so. Wrongful death claims focus on the damages suffered by the survivors in relation to their loved one’s loss. The potential compensation awarded in wrongful death cases varies depending on various factors, like the circumstances of the death and the damages the surviving family members suffered. That means you may ask for things like:

Compensation for the financial support lost due to the death of the loved one
Damages for the loss of companionship, guidance and emotional support.
Compensation for the emotional distress and mental anguish experienced by the surviving family members.

You may also receive financial coverage for any reasonable expenses associated with your loved one’s funeral and burial services.

Filing a survival action claim

This is basically the lawsuit the deceased could have filed for their own losses and suffering if they had not eventually succumbed to their injuries. It’s often filed at the same time as a wrongful death claim. Compensation for this kind of claim can include any medical bills incurred prior to the individual’s death and compensation for their pain and suffering if they lingered after the initial injury.

Settlements and negotiations

Wrongful death lawsuits are often resolved through settlements and negotiations outside the courtroom. Both parties may engage in discussions to reach a mutually agreeable resolution. During these negotiations, you should seek professional assistance to best obtain fair and just compensation on your family’s behalf.

3 tips for staying safe around semi-trucks during the summer

2023-04-14T19:28:06Z

Thousands of 18-wheelers pass through Chicagoland every day. Most of these vehicles have uneventful trips, but some of them cause crashes. In 2020, the most recent year with a Department of Transportation analysis available, there were 9,296 crashes in Illinois that involved a tractor-trailer or semi-truck. 105 of those wrecks resulted in at least one person dying. There were 237 crashes where people suffered injuries so severe they could not leave without help, and another 1,636 wrecks left people hurt. Almost all of them caused property damage expenses. With the summer months approaching and people preparing for vacation road trips and heavier warm weather traffic, it may be a good time to review the best practices for safety around large commercial trucks in traffic in Illinois.

1. Give plenty of space and account for glare

Big commercial trucks are dangerous to smaller vehicles in part because the drivers in semi-trucks have a hard time seeing nearby passenger vehicles. The large blind spots around a commercial truck make it easier for its driver to overlook other vehicles nearby in traffic. The bright glare possible during the sunniest days of summer may only exacerbate the visibility issues that can lead to crashes caused by commercial trucks. Giving them more space by avoiding traveling directly next to either side of their trailer is a worthwhile habit to develop.

2. Be especially cautious about merging

A semi-truck takes much longer to speed up or slow down than the average vehicle, which means that they can't respond as quickly to changing traffic conditions. Anyone merging in front of a semi-truck will typically want to give twice as much space between the rear of their vehicle and the front of the truck when compared with the standard traffic merge.

3. Pay extra attention at intersections

There are two ways for Illinois motorists to reduce their risk of a crash with a commercial truck at an intersection. One involves being cautious during the approach to the intersection, as they might get too close to where a truck needs to turn and put themselves at risk of getting clipped. The other is involves waiting an extra second before proceeding through an intersection to see what bigger vehicles across the intersection will do. Pausing for half a second can sometimes be the difference between narrowly avoiding a crash and a life-altering wreck. Identifying and avoiding risk factors for semi-truck crashes can help keep Illinois motorists safer on the roads this summer.

PRESS RELEASE – $91 Million Recovery

2023-03-01T11:57:51Z

Joseph A. Power, Jr., Larry R. Rogers, Jr. and James I. Power of Power Rogers, LLP and Louis Berns of Favil David Berns & Associates reached an agreement to settle their client, C.E.G.’s, claims against 7-Eleven, Inc. for $91 million. The parties were scheduled to begin picking a jury on Monday, February 6, 2023 before the Honorable Judge Mary Minella. This is the largest pretrial recovery for a person injured in the history of the State of Illinois. On September 20, 2017, after purchasing his morning coffee, C.E.G. was waiting for his ride to work while standing outside of a Village of Bensenville 7-Eleven. At that same time, a patron was attempting to park his vehicle in one of the storefront’s forward facing perpendicular parking spaces, directly in front of where Mr. C.E.G. was standing. As the patron attempted to bring his vehicle to a complete stop inside of the parking space, his foot accidentally pressed on the vehicle’s accelerator, rather than its brake, causing it to quickly accelerate up over the curb, across the sidewalk, pinning Mr. C.E.G. against the 7-Eleven storefront. As a result of the crushing injuries caused by this impact, a bi-lateral, above the knee amputation of both Mr. C.E.G’s legs was necessitated. Discovery in this case, spearheaded by Mr. Berns, led to the revelation of numerous facts that pointed directly to 7-Eleven’s culpability in this case. First, Defendant 7-Eleven sought to escape facing a jury in Cook County through a motion to transfer venue pursuant to the doctrine of forum non-conveniens, however, their motion was appropriately denied by the Honorable Judge Kevin Lee. Thereafter, Mr. Berns was able to secure an order from the Honorable Judge Ieshia Grey compelling 7-Eleven to produce 15 years of data (2003-2017) relating to storefront crashes at all 7-Eleven locations across the country. After years of substantial motion practice over the production of this data, Mr. Berns and the attorneys at Power Rogers, LLP were able to secure production of the complete data set under the cover of a protective order. That protective order was subsequently lifted by the Honorable Judge Mary Minella. The production of this data revealed that there have been over 6,253 storefront crashes at 7-Eleven stores across the country over that 15-year period, including a storefront crash that had occurred at this very same 7-Eleven just 16 months prior to the storefront crash that took Mr. C.E.G.’s legs. Had this case gone to trial, the jury would have been informed that a vehicle crashes into a 7-Eleven storefront somewhere in the United States occurs 1.14 times a day, every day. This means there is a storefront crash on average more than once a day at a 7-Eleven Store causing property damage or injury. Additional data, obtained by Plaintiff’s expert, Robert Reiter, from a prior case against 7-Eleven, established an additional 1,581 storefront crashes at 7-Eleven’s across the country over the 5-year period covering the years 1991-1996. Accordingly, Plaintiff would have established that there had been 7,525 storefront crashes at the over 8,000 7-Eleven stores across the country for the period that data is available. Mr. Reiter can be reached at (909) 964-2906. This evidence, coupled with the fact that 7-Eleven’s own expert witness, Dr. Duane Steffey of Exponent, supplied data that revealed that 15.11 people are killed or suffer a serious “incapacitating injury” in storefront crashes every month, and that this rate of serious injury or death in storefront crashes would continue unless and until something was done, such as the implementation of angular parking and/or the installation of bollards. These facts, in addition to the fact that 7-Eleven has taken no action to protect their customers, employees and other pedestrians lawfully on their property led the Honorable Judge Preston Jones to grant Plaintiff’s request he be allowed to seek punitive damages from the jury. Beyond allowing Plaintiff to seek punitive damages, Judge Jones correctly ruled that 7-Eleven had a duty to install bollards for the protection of individuals on its’ property in denying the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. During arguments on pre-trial motions before Judge Mary Minella, Defendant 7-Eleven did all it could to shield itself from liability, including alleging that compliance with local zoning ordinances negated Plaintiff’s claims that they were negligent in failing to install bollards to prevent this type of incident; that Mr. C.E.G. was a trespasser and/or exceeded the scope of his invitation; and that the Plaintiff’s evidence of thousands of prior occurrences should be barred as 7-Eleven claimed that Plaintiff lacked sufficient foundation to establish that any of the prior incidents bore any similarity to the incident at issue in the case. The attorneys at Power Rogers, LLP, were able to successfully combat 7-Eleven’s claims with evidence that the zoning ordinances at issue were not put in place for the protection of a class of people to whom Mr. C.E.G. belonged; that Mr. C.E.G. was a habitual customer of the 7-Eleven and that his repeated use of the property over the course of two years rendered his status on the property as lawful; and, through the testimony and opinions of Defendant’s data scientist, Adam Berry, that there was sufficient foundation for finding that at least 6,253 of the prior occurrences were substantially similar such that this evidence could be used to establish not just notice of the generally hazardous nature of the site, but as evidence to show the existence of a particular danger or hazard, namely, 7-Eleven’s storefront parking design. Following a recent $21 billion acquisition of rival Speedway in 2020, 7-Eleven added an additional 4,000 stores across the country. The Honorable William Gomolinski (ret.) of ADR systems, along with the Honorable Judge Mary Minella, assisted the parties in reaching the settlement agreement in this case. Joe Power said, “As long as 7-Eleven refuses to place bollards in front of its stores to prevent these crashes, people will continue to be seriously injured or killed. Up until now, 7-Eleven has decided to place an ambulance at the bottom of the hill, rather than a fence at the top. This problem can no longer be ignored.” [nap_names id="FIRM-NAME-1"] is the premier Plaintiff’s personal injury litigation firm for catastrophic personal injury and medical malpractice cases in the State of Illinois, having secured over $5 billion in recoveries via settlement or trial since its inception.
