When Emergency Room Doctors or Nurses Cause Harm to Patients, Team Law’s ER Injury Attorneys Hold Them Accountable.

Hospital emergency departments are fast-paced, high-stress environments. Doctors and nurses treat people who need immediate care, including those injured by gunshot wounds, car accidents, and sports injuries. They care for those suffering from heart attacks, strokes, and a myriad of other conditions.  While emergency rooms may seem chaotic, there are strict protocols for diagnosing and treating emergency room patients. When doctors or nurses fail to follow these standards, patients pay the price — sometimes with their lives.

Team Law’s dedicated New Jersey emergency room error lawyers pursue financial compensation for clients harmed by emergency room errors, including:

• Delay in diagnosing heart attack: Heart attack symptoms can be as subtle as a stomach ache. Instead of ordering appropriate cardiac tests, doctors may tell heart attack patients to go home and take an antacid. The results of this type of preventable mistake can be fatal.
• Delay in diagnosing stroke: Guidelines call for the administration of clot-busting medicine within a few hours of the onset of a stroke. Delayed diagnosis of stroke can result in death or serious disability that could have been avoided.
• Delay or failure to diagnose life-threatening conditions: from necrotizing fasciitis to pulmonary embolism.
• Delays in triage, examination, and treatment: People have died waiting for treatment in an emergency room because their conditions were not properly prioritized or treated in a timely manner. In some cases, these cases involve diagnostic mistakes. In others, understaffing is the issue.
• Failure to take a proper medical history: For example, we represented a client whose leg was eventually amputated because an emergency room doctor failed to ask him about prior surgeries.

Proving Medical Malpractice in NJ Emergency Room Error Cases

Each case of emergency room malpractice is unique. To qualify as medical malpractice, however, we must prove that:

• A duty of care was owed to the patient
• The accepted standards of care were violated
• The patient suffered harm
• The violation of the standard of care cause the harm to the patient

We carefully examine the circumstances involved in each case. We may find that a patient was needlessly harmed because of:

• Delay in treatment
• Unordered or misinterpreted tests
• Failure to follow procedures
