Emergency Room Errors

At the New York City law offices of Jacob Fuchsberg, we know that emergency room errors happen in hospitals everyday. These all-too-common emergency room mistakes can result in injury or even death to you or a loved one.

Our attorneys understand that a trip to the emergency room under any circumstances is a frightening experience. When compounded with an error that results in incorrect treatment, personal injury, or death, it becomes a nightmare. While we cannot undo the incident, we can help you receive the monetary payments owed to you for your pain and suffering, to cover any resulting bills or funeral expenses, and any other due compensation.

Most Common Hospital New York ER Errors

Errors in the emergency room may arise due to inadequately trained personnel, understaffing, or a lack of proper equipment. As a result, patients in the ER may suffer due to:

• A mix-up with medication
• A failure to administer the proper medication in a timely fashion
• Prescription errors
• Failure to diagnose impending heart attacks, strokes, or other catastrophic illness
• A misdiagnosis resulting in any sort of wrong or inadequate treatment
• Errors in interpreting x-rays, CT scans, and MRI studies properly
• Discharge despite critical illness
