When Mistakes Cause Injuries

In an emergency room situation, there is very often little room for error. Mistakes can be made by letting a patient wait too long, miscommunication among ER staff, and by not taking a patient’s complaints seriously enough. In most cases, ruling out the most serious problem—such as heart attack or stroke—can save lives. Our firm also helps family members pursue compensation in wrongful death claims caused by the negligence of emergency room staff. Our firm represents people whose lives are impacted by emergency room errors related to the following:

• Failure to diagnose cancer and other illnesses
• Failure to treat medical condition
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Misreading a medical chart or lab test
• Failure to treat blood clot or pulmonary embolism
• Failure to treat heart attack or stroke
• Medication errors

Mistakes that are made in emergency rooms can be devastating. Too often, people are sent home from the emergency room when in fact further medical care should have been administered. If you or a loved one has been injured by an emergency room error, we can help. Contact the Mahoney Law Firm today to learn more.
