Heart Attack Misdiagnosis Lawyer in Pennsylvania & New Jersey

We represent clients and families when a missed heart attack causes serious injury or loss.

When Medical Professionals Miss the Signs

A heart attack is one of the most time-sensitive medical emergencies. But too often, patients who seek help are told it’s anxiety, indigestion, or nothing at all—then sent home, only to suffer catastrophic consequences hours or days later. If you or a loved one suffered harm because a doctor failed to recognize a heart attack in time, we’ll help you understand your legal rights and hold the responsible parties accountable.

How Heart Attacks Get Missed

Even experienced providers can overlook or downplay the signs of a cardiac event—especially when:

  • Symptoms are atypical or mistaken for anxiety
  • The patient is younger or female
  • EKGs or tests are improperly interpreted
  • There’s a failure to order follow-up testing
  • Emergency room staff are rushed or dismissive
  • Communication breaks down between providers

We investigate where and how the failure happened—and whether it could have been prevented.

We Help You Seek What’s Right

Heart attack misdiagnosis cases often involve permanent heart damage, loss of brain function, or even death. In these cases, we help pursue compensation for:


  • Medical bills, including ICU and surgery costs
  • Lost income or earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability, rehabilitation, or long-term care
  • Wrongful death damages (if applicable)



These cases can be complex. We work with independent experts and cardiologists to uncover the truth and support your case with facts.

Missed Heart Attack in Pennsylvania or New Jersey?

Start with answers, not confusion.

  • What is a heart attack misdiagnosis?

    A heart attack misdiagnosis occurs when a medical provider fails to recognize the signs of a heart attack, leading to delayed or incorrect treatment. This can result in more severe injury—or even death—than if the heart attack had been caught early. These errors can happen in ERs, urgent care centers, or doctor’s offices. We investigate what should have been done differently.

  • How do I prove the hospital or doctor was negligent?

    In medical malpractice cases, we work with independent experts to review your medical records, test results, and provider notes. We look for gaps in care, such as failure to order proper tests, misinterpretation of results, or failure to act on abnormal findings. If the care fell below accepted standards, we build a strong claim to prove it.

  • What compensation can I recover?

    You may be eligible for compensation for past and future medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and—if the case involves loss of life—wrongful death damages. We’ll walk through what applies in your situation and fight for what’s fair.

  • Is there a deadline to file this kind of claim?

    Yes. In both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the general statute of limitations for medical malpractice is two years from when the injury occurred—or when it was reasonably discovered. But deadlines can vary based on specific facts, so it’s smart to talk to an attorney as soon as possible.

  • What if the patient passed away?

    If you lost a loved one due to a missed heart attack, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. We can help the family understand their options, handle the legal steps, and pursue compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and the loss of your loved one’s care and companionship.
