Overview

If you, or a member of your family, have suffered as a result of negligent cardiac care, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Hugh James specialist medical negligence solicitors are experts in dealing with all types of medical negligence including:

  • Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
  • Angina pectoris
  • Other cardiac problems

Medical negligence claims for these types of problems are often based around misdiagnosis or non-diagnosis of the problem.

Unfortunately, angina and heart attacks are sometimes diagnosed incorrectly as indigestion or other more minor disorders.

Claims may arise as a result of the correct diagnostic tests not being carried out, for example electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) tests.

Misinterpretation of test results can also lead to non-diagnosis of cardiac problems.

Misdiagnosis or late diagnosis can lead to the patient suffering pain, a worse long-term outcome, and possibly even death as a result of the correct treatment not being given at the appropriate time.

Appropriate prioritising of corrective surgery is important to minimise the risk to health.
