Who Can File an Emergency Room Malpractice Lawsuit?
Those who have been harmed by malpractice have the right to take legal action against the health care provider responsible for that malpractice. Individuals who have lost loved ones to malpractice may also seek compensation for their losses.
To win a lawsuit, the person filing suit (the plaintiff) must prove that the malpractice led to further harm that would not have occurred under the care of a more attentive health care provider. This often involves investigating medical records, speaking to witnesses, and consulting other experts in the field. Sadly, ERs are likely to push back against any malpractice lawsuit filed against them.
To give yourself a strong chance of proving malpractice and recovering compensation, work with a skilled lawyer.
What Is Emergency Room Malpractice?
Emergency room malpractice can come in many forms. It is important to note that an unfavorable outcome does not constitute malpractice. The medical provider must have negligently deviated from medical industry standards in some way.
Emergency Room Misdiagnosis
Misdiagnosis is when a medical provider gives an incorrect or untimely (late) diagnosis, so it also includes missed and delayed diagnoses. It is a leading type of malpractice in the ER, and it often results in an improper discharge.
Strokes, heart attacks, and mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are some of the most common health conditions to be misdiagnosed by ER staff.
Medication Errors
A medication error, or pharmaceutical error, is when an ER staffer fails to prescribe/administer the correct medication or fails to warn of a medication’s side effects. This type of malpractice can cause the patient to suffer severe adverse reactions and, like all kinds of malpractice, further injury.
Surgical Errors
Sometimes, ER staff must perform an emergency surgical procedure. When negligence is involved, a surgical error may result. Such errors usually occur due to poor communication, lack of staff coordination, and inattention, overwork, and fatigue.
A few examples of surgical errors include using the wrong surgical instrument, conducting the wrong surgery, and even conducting the correct surgery on the incorrect part of the body.
Compensation for Victims of Emergency Room Malpractice
A lawsuit could result in compensation for any and all damages suffered, including but not limited to:
- Pain and suffering
- Hospital bills
- Medications
- Disability accommodations
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
The value of your case relies on the exact damages you have incurred because of the emergency room malpractice. A legal professional will work to recover every cent owed to you.
