An Attorney Can Help You Recover the Compensation You Deserve

Here are some of the damages that you may recover depending on the facts of your case:

• Pain and suffering: Physical pain, mental anguish, loss of quality or enjoyment of life, inconvenience, disability, and more.
• Medical bills: Doctor visits, emergency room trips, hospital stays, surgical procedures, medication, rehabilitation services, and more.
• Lost income: Past, present, and future lost income that includes any reduction in earning capacity that directly resulted from your injury or illness.
• Out-of-pocket expenses: Transportation to and from appointments, adaptations to your home to accommodate your physical limitations, caregiver expenses, and more.
• Wrongful death: Funeral and burial costs, loss of companionship, loss of guidance, loss of inheritance, and more.

Proving a medical negligence case is not easy.  Doctors and hospitals rarely admit fault. Let an attorney from our firm act as your advocate and fight for the rights of you and your family.

Connecting Your Injuries to Emergency Room Negligence

Medical malpractice is an extremely complicated field that places the burden of proof squarely on the shoulders of victims. Doctors, nurses, and hospitals have entire legal teams dedicated to fighting malpractice claims and refusing to accept responsibility for their actions or inactions.  

In most instances, they will claim that your injuries were unavoidable, that you were adequately warned of the potential for injury or illness, or that you failed to properly adhere to discharge instructions. 

Emergency Room Errors

According to a recent study from the National Institute of Health (NIH), emergency room errors permeated almost every aspect of emergency care. The study broke down the prevalence as follows: 

• Diagnostic errors – 22% 
• Administrative errors – 16% 
• Pharmacology errors – 16%
• Documentation errors – 13% 
• Communication errors – 12% 

Proving the direct correlation between your injuries or illnesses and any of these errors is paramount for obtaining compensation. 

Proving a Breach in the Standard of Care

Your attorney will need to prove that you suffered an injury as a direct result of negligence on the part of a medical provider. Usually, you must demonstrate that the medical professional failed to uphold the standard of care required of them. 

The standard of care refers to the minimum requirements all medical professionals must adhere to when treating patients. When they fail to observe these standards, they make themselves liable for the injuries their patients suffer due to their negligence. 

Proving liability for an emergency room error requires a comprehensive investigation into all the evidence, and these investigations take time. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can begin working on your case. 

An attorney with our firm can work with doctors and well-known experts in the field of medicine to analyze your records, gather the facts, and paint a clear picture of how a breach of duty resulted in your injuries.
