Common Emergency Room Mistakes

However, emergency rooms can be busy and chaotic places because of ambulances frequently arriving and patients anxiously awaiting treatment. In addition, rising costs and budget constrains will leave some facilities understaffed, or equipment may not be properly maintained or used. All of these factors can contribute to an emergency room error. The most common emergency room mistakes include:

  • Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose: A patient can suffer devastating consequences if a hurried doctor misses the signs of a heart attack, stroke, meningitis, or other serious health condition.
  • Release or transfer to another facility: In some cases, a patient will be released from an urgent care facility strictly for financial reasons, which may be a violation of the federal Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act that ensures public access to emergency services regardless of ability to pay.
  • Medication errors and substandard treatment: The mistake or negligent behavior of an emergency care provider can cause new injuries that are unrelated to the initial problem.

If you believe your emergency room injury was the result of medical malpractice, we can investigate the details surrounding the incident and determine the best course of action.

To assess liability, we can consult with medical experts and have them analyze emergency room and other medical records.
