What Are Emergency Room Errors Miami Patients May Encounter?

Medical malpractice is a nuanced, complicated area of personal injury law. Not every mistake rises to the level of malpractice, which makes these cases quite difficult to handle alone or with an inexperienced lawyer. Some examples of emergency room negligence can include:

• Delayed medical attention
• Misdiagnosing a serious medical condition
• Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage
• Operating on the wrong body part
• Leaving surgical instruments inside the patient
• Discharging patients too early
• Refusing to admit the patient to the ER
• Misdiagnosing a stroke
• Radiology errors

Errors can happen at any emergency room in the Miami area, including locations like:

• Aventura Hospital and Medical Center
• Mount Sinai Medical Center
• Baptist Health hospitals
• Coral Gables Hospital
• Palmetto General Hospital
• North Shore Medical Center
• Steward Hialeah Hospital
• Kendall Regional Medical Center

When you suspect medical negligence by physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, medical specialists, technicians, hospital staff, or other parties after a visit to the emergency room, our Miami personal injury lawyers can fight for you.
