Helping Clients After Emergency Room Errors
People are understandably anxious when they go to the emergency room. They are worried about what may be wrong with them. Or they may have serious injuries from a motor vehicle accident. In either case, what they need is competent care that addresses their concerns and starts appropriate treatment. What they sometimes find is exactly the opposite — treatment delivered by tired, harried medical personnel who are simply overwhelmed by the volume of patients who need diagnosis and treatment.

Common ER Mistakes
We help people who have suffered injuries and illnesses after mistakes such as these:
- Failure to diagnose heart attack, stroke and other serious illnesses, leading to delays in treatment
- Incorrect or delayed diagnosis, leading to treatment delays
- Inappropriate testing or failure to order tests
- Falls from hospital gurneys
- Administering the wrong medication
- Leaving patients to wait, allowing their conditions to worsen
Errors such as these can be life-threatening or fatal. It is important that people injured because of emergency room errors obtain the resources they will need while they heal. They may be unable to work for some time — in some cases, they may never work again. Receiving compensation can assist in recovery and provide the financial support necessary to cover wage loss and medical expenses.
Leaving No Stone Unturned
We are known as thorough and creative attorneys who analyze all options to develop strong cases. We consult with medical experts and specialists, and interview and depose witnesses. We work with life care planners and economists to determine the true cost of your injury. They will help us calculate the cost of treatment, home help, lost income, special medical equipment and other expenses arising from your injury.
