Your loved one made it through surgery and was on the road to recovery. Something went wrong. The doctors say it was a pulmonary embolism and that there was nothing they could have done. Don’t take their statements at face value. Talk to a Harris County, Texas medical malpractice lawyer at once.

Pulmonary embolism is a recognized risk for patients after surgery, as well as for those patients suffering from hypertension or morbid obesity. Doctors are fully aware of this risk and have a well-defined protocol to prevent needless injury or death from pulmonary embolism. When they fail to follow standard practice and a patient is harmed or dies, they can be held accountable for their negligence, including:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of DVT (lower leg pain, thigh or groin pain) and pulmonary embolism (shortness of breath)
  • Nursing error, such as failure to employ TED (anti-embolism) hose in clients at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or arterial embolism, which could result in amputation or loss of function in a limb
  • Surgical error, such as failure to monitor the patient’s postoperative condition when the risks of pulmonary embolism are known
  • Medication error, such as failure to administer an anticoagulant such as heparin or Coumadin (warfarin) in a proper and timely fashion

A skilled Houston, Texas pulmonary embolism lawyer from the Harris County law firm of Davis & Davis can offer you the straightforward answers, sound legal advice, and aggressive representation you need in fighting for justice for a loved one whose life was lost because of a doctor’s negligent error.
