A bowel obstruction is a dangerous medical condition in which food and liquids are prevented from passing through the large or small intestine. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, a bowel obstruction can lead to severe medical problems, including gangrene, sepsis, shock, and even death. It is the responsibility of doctors and medical staff to monitor patients for risk of bowel obstruction and to take appropriate measures when warning signs exist. Failure to do so may constitute medical negligence.
At Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff, LLP, our attorneys have significant experience handling failure to diagnose bowel obstruction claims and other cases of medical malpractice.

Common signs of bowel obstruction include abdominal pain, constipation, vomiting, bloating and diarrhea.
Potential causes of bowel perforations include:
Failure to treat a blocked intestine can lead to a perforated or ischemic bowel. The condition often presents with high fever, intense abdominal pain and other symptoms. If the obstruction is not managed appropriately using an NG tube, colonoscopy or surgical intervention when necessary, the bowel will perforate causing toxins to be released into the bloodstream, leading to sepsis. If not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, such an infection can progress to the point it is no longer treatable by antibiotics.

Where do I start… As a client of a malpractice case, I did not know what to expect. However, the support from Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff Law firm made me feel at ease. The dedication, compassion, and overwhelming hard work that Gary Silverstein put in was undeniably AMAZING. Seeing how hard and diligent Gary worked on my case made me realize that I had the best team on my side. The support from the entire legal team was unbelievable. There were continuous updates, follow-ups, most importantly assurance of any concerns I had before and during my trial. In fact, during the trial Gary showed a vast form of knowledge, strategic and responsive thinking, and most importantly wisdom.

I am truly appreciative for all that Rosenberg, Minc, Falkoff & Wolff Law have done, but mostly I am appreciative of the amazing staff they have.
