Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Meningitis is a dangerous disease that may be either viral or bacterial. Meningitis needs to be diagnosed and treated in its early stages to prevent permanent damage including brain damage or death of a patient. If you or a family member has suffered permanent injury or death as a result of meningitis, Patton Law Practice lawyers welcome your inquiry.

Contact us to schedule a consultation regarding your or your child's meningitis. Our legal team includes a medical doctor, nurses, and lawyers who are attentive and diligent in the pursuit of remedies for victims of negligence in health care.

We are well qualified and well prepared to investigate the full set of facts related to your interaction with medical personnel when symptoms of meningitis appeared, such as lethargy and neck pain.

Implementation of Standard Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols May Prevent Tragic Brain Damage or Death

Our lawyers are familiar with standard diagnostic and treatment protocols that if implemented, may prevent tragedies such as the one our 3-year-old child client suffered. Although his family took him to be examined in time, unfortunately, his meningitis was not diagnosed in a timely manner. As a result, he had already lost his frontal lobes by the time the gold standard drug used to combat meningitis was administered. His last words before going to the hospital were, "I think I'm sick." It is unlikely he will ever speak again since his intelligence is now permanently that of a 1-year-old.

We dedicate our careers to assisting families of clients such as this boy, who was clearly a victim of malpractice. Contact us to discuss your case.
