Diagnosing Blood Clots

A person may develop a blood clot as a result of a variety of different health concerns. The frightening part of blood clots, however, is that they can break off and cause serious problems and blockages. Thus, these clots need to be diagnosed properly and treated quickly. Failure to act with haste can lead to complications that can permanently damage a patient’s body.

If you have suffered due to misdiagnosis or mistreatment of a blood clot, you may be entitled to compensation to help with your medical bills, lost wages, and other financial hardships. To discuss your legal options, contact the New Jersey misdiagnosis lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529.

Blood Clot Complications

A blood clot develops when the body’s platelets clog a blood vessel to stop the flow of blood. In a healthy body, this occurs only during an injury or some sort of emergency. However, a person suffering from a heart condition or prone to long bouts of inactivity may develop a blood clot without any sort of injury. These clots can break out of their original location then float through the patient’s blood vessels. Eventually, these clots may become lodged in a crucial blood vessel, potentially damaging a vital organ.

Common complications of blood clots include:

  • Cutting off blood flow to the lungs
  • Clogging the supply of blood to the brain
  • Stopping red blood cells from reaching the heart

Each of these complications can result in death if not treated promptly and accurately.
