Emergency Room Negligence: Early Discharge
The most obvious risk of misdiagnosis or inadequate treatment in the emergency room is that of discharging the patient without identifying or addressing the health problem that led to the patient's visit. If you or a member of your family suffered a serious injury because of premature discharge from a hospital emergency room, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney at the Cleveland law firm of Friedman, Domiano & Smith Co., LPA.
Our lawyers represent medical malpractice clients in personal injury and wrongful death claims throughout northeast Ohio. In recent years, we have achieved outstanding financial recoveries for clients whose negligence claims involved discharge from an emergency room before their health problems were correctly diagnosed or treated. In fact, in some cases, the ER physician never took their complaints seriously, and completely overlooked such serious medical conditions as:
- Symptoms of heart attack or stroke
- Life-threatening bacterial or viral infection
- Psychiatric problems including suicidal tendencies
- Internal organ damage such as spleen, bladder or liver bladder injuries suffered in car accidents
- Traumatic brain injury caused by blunt force impact
When an emergency room physician fails to order tests or lab work that could establish the presence of a severe injury or significant risk of death, we work with experienced medical professionals to prove negligence by that doctor. Our goal is to help our clients recover the damages for lost income, pain and suffering, continuing treatment needs, or even wrongful death that they will need to rebuild their families' lives in the aftermath of an emergency room doctor's negligence or diagnosis error.
Our past success in medical malpractice litigation allows us to commit the resources necessary to investigate and document your claim thoroughly and convincingly. Our reputation for effective client service forces defendants and their insurers to take your claim for damages seriously.
