Montana Malpractice Attorneys: Misdiagnosed and Untreated Infections
Certain infections, when not properly treated, can cause life-threatening illness, injury and even death. When a patient raises certain types of complaints, knowledgeable doctors know the level of attention that is necessary to ensure the patient's well-being is looked after. When a doctor fails to perform the right tests, misinterprets lab results or otherwise provides negligent medical care involving the misdiagnosis or mistreatment of an infection, our attorneys work hard to answer our clients' questions of why, how and who to blame. We offer the dedicated legal representation necessary to demonstrate negligence and liability, and to recover the compensation to which our clients are entitled.

Failure to Treat Infections ∙ Misdiagnosis of Infections
Post-surgical infections, staph infections, spinal meningitis, bed sores and other serious infections require prompt attention and treatment. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, meningitis can turn deadly in a matter of hours; untreated surgical wounds and pressure sores can exacerbate to the point of requiring amputation; delayed diagnosis of a staph infection can be fatal.
While there are cases where doctors did everything properly, unfortunately the patient still suffered injury or death. However, when a doctor is negligent or acts below the accepted standard of care, and the patient suffers significant harm as a result, the doctor can be held accountable for such medical negligence. Our personal injury and wrongful death lawyers handle complex infection misdiagnosis cases involving:
- Failing to perform proper tests to diagnose an infection
- Prescribing the wrong antibiotic, causing the infection to worsen
- Misdiagnosis of meningitis as the flu
- Negligent treatment of a bed sore or pressure ulcer
