Emergency Room Errors
Federal laws stipulate that emergency rooms are required to stabilize patients, including women in labor, without inquiring as to whether they can pay the bill afterward. Emergency rooms are all about saving lives — and you have the right to expect quality medical care when you report to an ER with a medical emergency.
Were you seriously injured or harmed as a result of an emergency room error?
- Did you report to the ER with chest pains, yet you were not worked up for a cardiac examination because they believed you were too young to have a heart attack?
- Did emergency room triage nurses fail to properly prioritize your life-threatening emergency?
- Was a serious condition such as meningitis or Lyme disease undiagnosed in the emergency room despite clear evidence?
- Did the ER doctor send you home rather than treating you for stroke, resulting in greater disability?
- Did the ER doctor fail to test you for a brain tumor or other serious condition which you discovered later, despite the logical symptoms for it?
- Did delayed treatment or failure to diagnose a serious condition cause death of a family member?
You may have suffered irreversible neurological damage after an intubation error in the emergency room. Your son may have committed suicide or murder after being turned away as a self-reporting psychiatric patient.
