Find Adequate Recovery for Emergency Room Errors
Due to its very nature, an emergency room must handle a high volume of serious cases in a fast and efficient manner. Naturally, this kind of combination often leads to errors by doctors, nurses and other staff members. While some of these are honest mistakes, others are due to negligence and substandard care that is provided to patients. Inadequate staffing of the emergency room can also be a concern. Unfortunately, emergency room malpractice is responsible for thousands of injuries and deaths each year.

If an injury or death should have been prevented by emergency room personnel, that facility and its negligent employees should be held accountable.

Emergency Room Negligence in Pennsylvania
There are many reasons why accidents and injuries occur in emergency rooms, many of which are related to the facilities being overcrowded or understaffed. When patients are not seen quickly enough, or have their injuries misdiagnosed after they are reviewed too hastily, more severe injuries can result. Emergency room negligence may also include:
- Failure to diagnose complaints from patients
- Improper or inappropriate testing
- Not admitting patients to the hospital for further monitoring
- Not sending patients to trauma centers when the ER is unequipped to handle high level patients
- Failure to recognize symptoms in a timely manner
We also represent the victims of serious injuries resulting from inexperienced and negligent emergency medical technicians. Hospital administrators need to ensure that their facilities are well staffed and that staff are scheduled and trained properly. At our firm, we will analyze your situation to determine who is at fault and who should be held accountable for your injuries.
