Los Angeles Emergency Room Malpractice Attorney

What is emergency room malpractice?

Emergency room malpractice occurs when ER nurses and physicians incorrectly diagnose injuries or fail to diagnose dangerous medical conditions. If a medical condition is misdiagnosed, not diagnosed, treated inappropriately, or not treated at all, the patient may have a legitimate emergency room malpractice claim. Common examples include failure to diagnose heart attack during an ER visit, stroke, aneurysm, meningitis, pulmonary embolism, or other serious medical condition that is misdiagnosed or untreated. It can also involve failing to treat a patient in a timely manner, inadequate follow-up, administration of incorrect medication or incorrect dosage, prescription errors and other failures. If you or a loved one has been the victim of emergency room malpractice, speak with Los Angeles medical malpractice lawyer Steven J. Weinberg to get the legal representation you need.

Emergency room malpractice can lead to prolonged illness and longer recovery time, permanent injury or even death.
