Emergency Room Malpractice
More and more people find themselves in need of emergent medical care. Unfortunately, many patients are finding emergency rooms to be crowded, understaffed and filled with patients with a wide range of ailments. Any combination of these factors may increase the likelihood that Emergency Room patients will suffer a devastating injury as a result of medical negligence.
Emergency room errors often include failing to obtain a patient’s accurate medical history, failing to order diagnostic tests, ordering incorrect diagnostic tests, failing to correctly interpret or follow up on test results, failing to conduct a thorough physical exam, failing to recognize the symptoms of an illness or failing to take patient history into account when making a diagnosis, and failing to consult a specialist or monitor patients can also lead to poor outcomes in the emergency room.
