Brooklyn Emergency Room Error Lawyers
An emergency room is a highly stressful environment, as doctors and nurses must act quickly to treat the emergencies they are dealt. Unfortunately, some doctors and nurses become negligent when faced with these situations. Emergency room errors can cause serious medical complications for patients who are already ill or injured.
If you or someone you love suffered further injury after visiting an emergency room, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice claim. Contact the Brooklyn emergency room error lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273 to learn more about your legal rights as a patient.
Errors and Consequences
Many errors occur because doctors and nurses have more patients to treat than they can reasonably handle. Understaffing is a big problem in many emergency rooms, and the burden is usually passed on to patients. Regardless, most emergency rooms still manage to cope with their understaffed hospitals with careful planning.
Unfortunately, even the best of planning cannot always prevent a doctor or nurse from committing a negligent action. Negligent actions may include:
- Failing to monitor a patient
- Delayed treatment
- Misdiagnosis
- Wrong treatment
- Medication and dosage errors
- Use of contaminated tools
Any of these errors may severely harm a patient. In more serious cases, patients may pass away because of the negligent actions of the hospital staff. Our Brooklyn emergency room error attorneys believe that patients who suffer because of emergency room errors should hold the offending hospital accountable for the negligence of its employees.
