For a Child Injured by a failure to Diagnose and Treat Meningitis
One of the very toughest cases to prove at trial is a failure to diagnose meningitis in a very young baby as the baby gives off only vague symptoms which physicians frequently ignore. These children are victims of modern medicine which premits children to suffer avoidable injuries in order to save the cost of diagnostic tests on vague symptoms causing frequently horrific injury. Duffy& Duffy recently successfully overcame these obstacles in a case involving failure to diagnose meningitis in a young child with so-called soft signs- setting the case for Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00).
