Florida Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Do I have a Florida Medical Malpractice DVT or Pulmonary Embolism Case?

Medical malpractice cases involving pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are complex.  PE occurs when a blood clot travels to the lungs, while DVT involves the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs. Both conditions demand prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious complications or even death. When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care in diagnosing or treating PE or DVT, patients may suffer severe consequences.  At Iacobelli Law Firm, we are dedicated to helping victims and their families pursue justice and compensation in medical malpractice cases related to PE or DVT in Florida.

Understanding PE and DVT and Their Medical Implications
Pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis are both life-threatening conditions associated with blood clots. PE occurs when a blood clot from elsewhere in the body, often the legs, travels to the lungs, causing blockage in the pulmonary arteries. DVT, on the other hand, involves the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, typically in the legs or pelvic region.

Both PE and DVT carry substantial health risks, such as:
  • Pulmonary Embolism: If not promptly treated, PE can lead to lung tissue damage, reduced oxygen supply to the body, and even heart failure. In severe cases, it can be fatal.
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis: Untreated DVT can result in long-term complications, including chronic pain, swelling, and skin discoloration in the affected limb. There is also a risk that the clot may dislodge and cause a PE.

Medical Malpractice in PE and DVT Cases
Medical malpractice may occur in PE and DVT cases when healthcare providers fail to diagnose or treat these conditions appropriately. Some common examples of medical negligence include:
  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to recognize the symptoms of PE or DVT, leading to delayed or incorrect treatment.
  • Inadequate Testing: Not ordering appropriate tests, such as ultrasound, CT scans, or blood tests, to confirm the presence of blood clots.
  • Medication Errors: Prescribing incorrect anticoagulants or administering incorrect dosages, leading to further complications.
  • Surgical Errors: Errors during surgery or medical procedures that increase the risk of blood clot formation.
  • Lack of Prophylaxis: Failing to administer appropriate prophylactic measures to high-risk patients, such as those undergoing surgery or with certain medical conditions.
