Emergency Room Errors
Over 100 million people visit emergency rooms every year. Around 100,000 of these people lose their life as a result of emergency room errors which may be attributed to several factors such as an under-staffed ER, defective or lack of adequate medical equipment, or poorly trained ER doctors and staff members. Having to visit the emergency room is often stressful and frightening. The chances that you will have any previous knowledge about the doctor that is assigned to treat you is slim and you usually have no other option but to trust them. The medical staff of the ER is expected to have the experience and training to correctly treat your condition; however, this is not always the case. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligent behavior of emergency room health care professionals, contacting an experienced lawyer is the first step in holding ER staff accountable for their irresponsible actions.
Common occurrences of emergency room errors are:
- Failure to admit patients to a hospital when necessary
- Failure to diagnose and prevent heart attacks or strokes
- Misdiagnosis of patient’s injuries or illnesses
- Interpretation errors of CT scans, x-rays, and MRIs
- Delayed treatment
- Errors in written prescriptions
