Pennsylvania Emergency Room Error Mistakes

PA Medical Negligence Attorney

Injuries and fatalities occur in emergency rooms due to lengthy wait times, overworked staff and poor communication. Due to a number of contributing factors, the average wait time in emergency rooms across the country is more than three hours. Individuals suffering from a heart attack, stroke or bacterial meningitis are either misdiagnosed or forced to waste precious minutes and hours before receiving treatment.

At SL&W Law Group, a subsidiary of Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman, P.C., our Pennsylvania emergency room mistake lawyers investigate misdiagnoses, mistakes and general negligence that result in injuries and fatalities. Our medical malpractice attorneys subpoena staff records, medical charts, work plans and video footage in reviewing what doctors did or failed to do in treating our clients.

Are Emergency Room Errors Considered Medical Malpractice?

SL&W Law Group lawyers represent clients injured in the emergency room due to:

• Misdiagnosed heart attack, stroke, meningitis or diabetic reactions
• Excessive wait time that results in complications or injuries
• Loss of blood
• Medication errors
• Surgical errors
• Bacterial infection
• Mishandled childbirth labor resulting in Erb's palsy or cerebral palsy

Most emergency room errors result in medical complications that lead to serious injuries and death. These emergency room errors are often considered medical malpractice. As a result, individuals and families face lost income, additional medical expenses and a loss in quality of life.

Our Pennsylvania attorneys consult economists and life care planners to quantify the financial impact of emergency room malpractice. Because HMOs and the insurance industry gather cost data, providing an accurate, thorough financial analysis of our clients' injuries isn't difficult. Our office prepares cost projections that capture expenses associated with future medical treatment, medical equipment, lost earnings, and emotional pain and suffering.
