New Jersey Delayed Meningitis Diagnosis Lawyers

Meningitis is a medical condition caused by infection and inflammation of the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord. If not treated quickly, meningitis can cause permanent neurological damage. It can have numerous life-changing effects such as deafness, epilepsy, and permanent cognitive deficits. If left untreated, meningitis can prove fatal.

Since meningitis is capable of causing extensive damage to the brain and spinal cord, it is classified as a medical emergency. Anyone who shows signs of meningitis should receive immediate medical treatment before permanent damage can occur. Doctors who do not diagnose patients with meningitis symptoms quickly enough may be guilty of medical malpractice.

If you or someone you love has suffered because of a delayed meningitis diagnosis, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, losses, and suffering. To learn more, discuss your case with the experienced New Jersey delayed meningitis diagnosis lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today by calling 800-346-5529.

Dangerous Meningitis Complications

Compared with most illnesses, meningitis can lead to dangerous complications even in its earliest stages. People with meningitis may require treatment specific to their symptoms and the particular effects they experience as a result of the illness. There are many potential complications, including:

  • Sepsis (blood poisoning)
  • Dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension)
  • Abnormal blood clotting
  • Brain swelling
  • Seizures
  • Partial or total loss of hearing or vision
