Meningitis

A baby with a fever must be checked for meningitis to prevent brain damage.

Delay in diagnosing meningitis

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding your child’s brain and spinal cord, usually due to the spread of an infection and can be a life-threatening emergency. Early treatment can prevent serious complications but military pediatric doctors sometimes mistake the early signs and symptoms of meningitis for the flu. Our lawyers have handled many cases involving a delay in diagnosing meningitis resulting in brain damage and seizures for the child.

If your child suffered an injury from meningitis due to the negligence of an Air Force, Army or Navy doctor or hospital, our lawyers can help you get the compensation you need to care for your child.
