Medical Malpractice and Emergency Room Errors
Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Misdiagnoses, delayed diagnosis and misreading of medical tests—these are the most common hospital emergency room errors. If you believe you, or a family member, were the victim of a serious emergency room error, contact my office to speak to a Chicago emergency room error lawyer.
Emergency rooms handle critical and non-critical patients in a fast-paced environment. Staff in emergency rooms are trained in triage—the assessment of the seriousness of a medical condition in order to provide prompt care when needed. A faulty assessment can lead to delayed diagnoses and delayed treatment, which can lead to death for critically ill patients.
Yes, emergency rooms are often very busy, but that is not a valid reason to provide less than acceptable medical care, to fail to review patient histories, to fail to do adequate testing, to fail to provide treatment. These failures are errors on the part of physicians and on the part of hospitals and patients' safety and patients’ lives should not be jeopardized.
As a medical malpractice lawyer, I’ve seen strokes and heart attacks misdiagnosed as indigestion leading to death.
If you are looking for a dedicated and experienced Chicago emergency room error lawyer to prove that emergency room negligence resulted in serious injury, contact my office. I have achieved financial settlements in 95% of the cases I’ve handled since opening my solo law practice in 1997. I accept a limited number of cases so that I can provide effective and highly responsive legal service to each of my clients.
Settlement: $1.95 million
My client was the family of a man who died due to misdiagnosis and consequent mistreatment of his serious medical condition. He arrived in the emergency room of a major university hospital complaining of pain. He had severe pancreatitis, but was admitted on a non-critical basis. The next morning he was found dead.
