Emergency rooms are fast-paced, but patients are still entitled to reasonably careful care. Errors in the ER can turn a treatable condition into a life-threatening one.
Common Emergency Room Errors
- Failing to recognize stroke, heart attack, sepsis or internal bleeding
- Discharging a patient too early without appropriate testing
- Delays in treatment or specialist consultation
- Failure to follow up on test results
- Poor communication during shift changes
How We Can Help
We examine triage records, test orders and timing, and discharge decisions with medical experts to assess whether the emergency care met the standard expected in the circumstances.
