Understanding Emergency Room Errors

Emergency rooms are high-pressure environments where decisions must be made rapidly, often under less-than-ideal circumstances. Unfortunately, this setting can lead to various errors, each with potentially serious impacts on patients.

Common errors include:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: These can cause a patient’s condition to worsen unnecessarily, potentially leading to severe complications or death.
• Improper Treatment: Improper treatment can aggravate the existing condition or cause new injuries.
• Errors in Medication: Medication errors can lead to adverse drug reactions, exacerbation of the medical condition, or additional health complications.
• Failure to Perform Necessary Tests: This oversight can lead to a misdiagnosis or a failure to diagnose serious conditions, such as heart attacks, strokes, or infections.

Understanding these factors and how they affect your case is crucial for a successful legal strategy.

Your Rights and Compensation
