Los Angeles Pediatric Meningitis Lawyer

Pediatric meningitis is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical intervention. When a child presents symptoms of meningitis, such as fever, irritability, vomiting, or a stiff neck, doctors must act quickly to diagnose and treat the infection. Unfortunately, medical professionals sometimes fail to recognize the warning signs or delay treatment, leading to devastating and permanent consequences for the child and their family.
