Anesthesia Errors in Pregnant Patients

Anesthesia during pregnancy involves high stakes for both the mother and the fetus, as pregnancy fundamentally alters nearly every physiological system.

Sarcoma Misdiagnosis

Sarcoma is a rare and aggressive cancer that is frequently misdiagnosed as a benign cyst or injury. Because early detection is critical—with survival rates dropping from 83% to 16% once it spreads—even a few months of delay can be catastrophic. Lupetin & Unatin, LLC represents Pennsylvania patients harmed by a delayed sarcoma diagnosis. Discover how our attorneys fight for the compensation and answers you deserve.

Failure to Monitor Vital Signs During General Anesthesia

Under general anesthesia, patients are entirely dependent on their medical team.

Learn how we fight for those injured by medical neglect.

Lupetin & Unatin, LLC represents Pennsylvania patients harmed by PACU monitoring failures and medical negligence.

Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC)

Medication Errors – Common Scenarios & What You Should Know

Medication errors are a leading form of medical malpractice in Pennsylvania, occurring in hospitals and at pharmacy counters alike. From dosage miscalculations to dangerous drug interactions and administration failures, a single mistake can lead to life-altering injury. This article explores common scenarios where these errors occur and what patients must know about their legal rights under PA law to hold negligent providers accountable.

Brain Cancer Misdiagnosis

Brain cancer symptoms like headaches and seizures are often dismissed as stress or anxiety, allowing life-threatening tumors to grow unchecked. When doctors fail to order an MRI or ignore red flags, the delay can move a patient from a treatable diagnosis to a terminal one. Lupetin & Unatin, LLC represents Pennsylvania families harmed by brain cancer misdiagnosis. Discover how our attorneys fight for the justice and answers you deserve.

Cervical Meningioma Misdiagnosis

A cervical meningioma is a spinal tumor that, when missed on imaging, can lead to devastating results like unnecessary surgery and permanent neurological harm. Often, these errors occur when a radiologist fails to report a tumor visible outside the primary area of interest. Lupetin & Unatin, LLC represents Pennsylvania patients harmed by diagnostic failures. Learn how our attorneys fight for the compensation and answers you deserve.

Telemedicine Malpractice in Pennsylvania

Telemedicine offers convenience, but virtual visits can lead to catastrophic medical errors when doctors miss critical physical warning signs. Severe medical malpractice occurs when telehealth providers dismiss dangerous symptoms like chest pain or breathing difficulty, failing to urgently refer the patient to an emergency room. Lupetin & Unatin, LLC helps Pennsylvania families devastated by delayed diagnoses caused by negligent telemedicine care.

Colon Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorneys

Delayed diagnosis of colorectal cancer is not always an unavoidable tragedy. In many cases it is the direct result of a physician’s failure to screen appropriately, to recognize the warning signs, to follow up an abnormal test result, or to refer a patient for specialist evaluation. At Lupetin & Unatin, we investigate these cases, and we know how to determine whether your right to reasonable medical care was violated.

Lung Nodule Follow-Up Failures

If a lung nodule was found on a CT scan and was never followed up — and you were later diagnosed with advanced lung cancer — you may have a medical malpractice claim in Pennsylvania. The Fleischner Society Guidelines require specific follow-up timelines based on nodule size and patient risk. When physicians, radiologists, or hospital systems fail to act on those guidelines, the legal standard of care has been breached. The difference between Stage I and late-stage diagnosis can be the difference between a cure and a death sentence.
