A patient arrives at the emergency department with chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeat — and is sent home without proper testing. Hours later, tragedy strikes. These are preventable losses, and they happen far too often in the hospitals and clinics of Marquette, Escanaba, Iron Mountain, Menominee, and Green Bay.
Vincent Petrucelli, ACTL Fellow and veteran of Ferdon ex rel. Petrucelli v. Wisconsin Patients Compensation Fund (2005 WI 125), has spent decades holding medical institutions accountable when they fail to diagnose or treat cardiac emergencies. His work in Ferdon affirmed that every patient deserves full justice — not arbitrary limits — when negligence takes a life.
How We Handle These Cases
We collaborate with cardiologists and vascular-medicine specialists to uncover:
- Failure to diagnose a heart attack: ER staff ignoring ECG changes or troponin results.
- Missed warning signs of pulmonary embolism: shortness of breath after travel, surgery, or childbirth.
- Medication errors: no anticoagulants prescribed for atrial fibrillation.
- Hospital protocol violations: inadequate monitoring in recovery rooms or ICUs.
Our courtroom presentations are built on truth and clarity — explaining to jurors not only what happened, but what should have happened under accepted standards of care. Contact Vincent Petrucelli today at (906) 265-6173 or vincent@truthfinders.com.
