Emergency Room Errors in New York
An emergency room is often a hectic place. Many emergency rooms are overcrowded and understaffed, and there can be a lot of pressure on doctors and nurses to quickly diagnose and treat as many patients as possible in order to deal with the large number of cases presented. Improperly read x-rays, CAT scans and MRI test results can have serious consequences. When these mistakes happen in an emergency room, the mistakes can be deadly. Lack of communication between doctors, nurses and technicians have caused countless injuries to patients who come to an emergency room seeking life-saving help.
A failure to diagnose or a delay in rendering a diagnosis can also result in a serious injury, or worse. Doctors are expected to practice and treat patients in accordance with the accepted standard of care in their field of medicine. When a doctor fails to do so, he or she can be held liable for damages under New York medical malpractice laws.
If you think you may not have been treated properly in an emergency room, it is very important to speak with an experienced New York medical malpractice attorney right away. An attorney who has experience handling medical malpractice claims will know what to look for when analyzing your medical records, what questions to ask witnesses and experts, and how to prepare a strong and compelling claim. The hospital and/or doctor you have filed the lawsuit against will have powerful attorneys defending them, so you need to ensure you have an equally strong and experienced attorney representing you.
