Heart Attack Misdiagnosis in Florida
Misdiagnosed while having a Heart Attack?
Countless individuals visit their local emergency room with symptoms that could indicate a heart attack. Well over 1 million men and women in our country have heart attacks each year and nearly 1/3 of the victims die from their medical condition, either because it is untreatable or misdiagnosed. Heart attack misdiagnosis occurs more often than it should and can lead to the devastating loss of a loved one that could potentially have been treated if they were screened more thoroughly. If you or someone you care about has been misdiagnosed while having a heart attack, you may be entitled to financial compensation. As your legal representation, we at The Florida Law Group can properly gauge what is fair and file a claim for what is decidedly deserved on your behalf.

Why Heart Attacks are Overlooked
A study by the National Patient Safety Foundation revealed that one in six people had experienced a medical error related to misdiagnosis, and women (younger women especially) are more likely than men to be misdiagnosed. In fact, women under the age of 55 are seven times more likely to be misdiagnosed than men of the same age, and this nearly doubles their chances of dying.
There are several reasons why physicians may miss a heart attack, with some of the most common being:
- Overlooking a heart attack in younger patients because of age
- Overlooking heart attack as a diagnosis in women
- Only relying on certain electrocardiogram (ECG) test results

Got rear-ended at a red light by a truck! Did not know so many things would be affecting my body and my mind. just couldn't believe I was injured, thought I could just shake it off. My lawyer Chris explained to me, that things would be happening to my body at different times. It was really hard to hear that but he assured me he would fight the insurance company to get me what I deserve for my injuries. I believe him.
