The representation offered by the Valenzuela Law Firm, P.A., offers a combination of a client-focused approach and thorough familiarity with the laws in Florida. A lawyer from our practice is capable of accepting cases involving the misdiagnosis of stroke. This condition sometimes goes unnoticed by medical professionals, and the consequences can be serious.
What Are The Symptoms Of A Stroke?
Certain signs are associated with someone experiencing a stroke. It is vital that emergency staff and other medical personnel understand the importance of acting swiftly when identifying that a patient is having or had a stroke. Confusion, difficulty with speech, partial paralysis or vision issues all point to the need for appropriate testing as soon as possible. Failing to order tests or respond urgently to such symptoms may indicate that a doctor has failed to prescribe appropriate treatment.

We do not take matters of medical negligence lightly. Our practice has won settlements on behalf of clients.
