Heart Attacks

Attorneys Serving Connecticut

Heart attacks often occur suddenly. However, often the signs of an impending heart attack are present and steps can be taken to prevent a tragedy. Medical professionals are trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of an impending heart attack, and whenever possible, prevent it from occurring, or minimize it's adverse consequences.

In Connecticut, many victims of heart attacks that occur after a misdiagnosis or a late diagnosis of a heart condition can obtain compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from the heart attack. The medical malpractice lawyers of Berman & Russo are experienced in handling claims involving misdiagnosis of heart disease and will speak free of charge with anyone who might have a claim for compensation based on misdiagnosis or medical negligence. Contact us to speak with an experienced medical malpractice attorney.

Did a doctor fail to diagnose a heart attack in time?

Misdiagnosis

When a doctor or other medical professional sees a patient who is experiencing signs or symptoms of an impending heart attack, immediate hospitalization is usually required. If a medical professional fails to take steps to prevent or properly treat a heart attack, there may be grounds for a medical malpractice or wrongful death claim.

This is medical negligence, and the victim's surviving family members deserve compensation. When a member of your family suffers a heart attack because of the negligence of a primary care physician, cardiologist, Emergency Room physician, or other healthcare provider, the lawyers of Berman & Russo are here to help.

Did a heart attack occur at work or because of work-related stress?

Heart Attacks and Workers' Compensation

Even if you have previously been diagnosed with non-work-related heart disease, you are entitled to worker's compensation benefits for a heart attack triggered by physical exertion at work or extreme emotional anxiety and/or job pressure. Surviving spouses are also entitled to compensation if their spouse dies as a result of a work-related heart attack or work-related complications of heart disease. Policemen and firemen have special rights under state law.
