Emergency rooms are locations designated for individuals in dire need of urgent medical care. However, they are frequently over crowded, understaffed and physicians are overworked. These three factors can be a fatal combination, resulting in emergency room errors that could have been prevented.
While many people have their own story or know someone who had a bad ER experience, we like to think it will happen to us. Yet when it does, you need the assistance of an emergency room error attorney to successfully litigate your medical malpractice case and obtain the compensation you are entitled to.
Common Emergency Room Errors
Emergency room malpractice lawsuits most frequently stem from a physician’s failure to diagnose/delayed diagnosis of a condition. This is due to the circumstances surrounding emergency rooms: too many patients without well-rested staff, resulting in a lack of thoroughness as patients are treated like statistics rather than human beings.
Other common emergency room errors include:
- Administering a contaminated blood infusion
- Performing improper laboratory tests
- Anesthesia malpractice
- Surgical error
- Administering the wrong medication
Injuries Sustained Due to Emergency Room Errors
Considering individuals require immediate, medical assistance in an emergency room, errors frequently result in catastrophic injuries, including:
- Hemorrhaging
- Appendicitis
- Stroke
- Brain aneurysm
- Heart attack
- Pulmonary embolism
- Wrongful death
