Emergency Room Errors

The Centers for Disease Control estimate that 136.3 million people are treated in American emergency rooms annually. Of the 225,000 people who die from medical malpractice-related injuries each year, almost half are due to Emergency Room Errors.

It is a doctor’s duty to provide reasonable patient care that falls within accepted standards and guidelines. Healthcare professionals who ignore this duty are guilty of medical negligence. When a physician or other health care professional fails to provide adequate care to their patient, and that patient suffers injury or death, it can result in a claim of Medical Malpractice.

Henson Fuerst understands medical malpractice law and knows how to defend your rights in a case of Emergency Room Error.

Typical Emergency Room Errors include:

Do I Have a Case?

Not every emergency room error is grounds for a lawsuit. Proving medical malpractice or negligence is complex and requires hours of research and effort. If you’ve suffered an emergency room error, or a loved one has died due to medical negligence, it is vital to consult with a highly experienced medical malpractice attorney to ensure your rights are vigorously protected and you receive full compensation under the law for such issues as:

    • Lost current or future earnings
    • Reasonable medical expenses
    • Permanent disability
    • Pain and suffering
    • Future medical care
    • And more
