Northwell Sleep Center
Conducting two forms with pediatric and/or sufficient medical or surgical care and harm at sleep disorder diagnostic facilities.
Case Overview
Lawsuits assert patients are subject to diagnose and treat conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia, and other sleep disorders. However, sleep facilities have been accused of medical negligence, particularly regarding testing procedures, misdiagnosis, and failures to properly monitor patients during overnight sleep studies.
Lawsuits allege that certain sleep centers failed to meet medical standards of care, resulting in delayed diagnosis, inappropriate treatment recommendations, and harm to patients. Some cases, patient injuries include:
Patients who sought help for sleep disorders and instead received substandard care may be entitled to compensation for their injuries and continued medical care.
Sleep study centers, diagnostic labs, hospital sleep units
Medical intelligence, misdiagnosis, inadequate monitoring
Healthcare systems, sleep centers, medical providers
