Emergency Room Malpractice Cases

Our Michigan medical malpractice lawyers handle cases involving injuries resulting from medical errors at hospital emergency rooms. Emergency rooms are busy, stressful environments full of patients who need medical attention immediately. The doctors and other health care professionals that work there are often highly dedicated and well-trained. However, there are still preventable medical errors that occur in emergency rooms due to medical medical malpractice.

A patient who suffers injuries from a preventable medical error at a hospital emergency room may have a valid case for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Common emergency room errors include:

• Failing to diagnose an infection, like meningitis
• Failing to diagnose appendicitis or bowel obstructions
• Failing to diagnose a heart attack
• Failing to order x-rays, CT Scans, MRIs, or other radiology tests
• Failing to consult with a specialist
• Failing to order necessary tests
• Failing to treat any condition that was previously properly diagnosed
• Failing to admit a patient to the hospital
• Discharging a patient before a proper medical workup

Frequently, emergency room malpractice cases involve mistakes related to the treatment and diagnosis of medical problems with children and infants. Many emergency room physicians simply do not have the necessary training in pediatric medicine and as a result, fail to properly treat childhood illnesses. This can result in permanent injury and harm to a child.

The injuries suffered from Emergency Room Malpractice are often significant. To learn more about medical malpractice cases in Michigan, request our FREE BOOK, "The Ultimate Michigan Medical Malpractice Handbook." Or contact us to discuss your case.

Testimonials

For your personal injury cases, I would recommend George Burke at Buckfire & Buckfire. He was professional, knew the law and best of all, negotiated a settlement for me that was fair compensation for the injuries I received.
Kevin - Walled Lake

I cannot thank Daniel Buckfire enough for helping in my No-Fault Insurance claim against State Farm Insurance Company. I am a quadriplegic as a result of a car accident and my insurance company denied me a portion of my insurance benefits. I contacted Daniel and he was able to get those benefits paid quickly for me.
