Emergency Room Neglect

Medical Malpractice Lawyer Representing Victims of Emergency Room Error

Emergency room errors can involve misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose a condition, medication errors, and other types of medical mistakes.

You never get headaches. Suddenly your head is pounding. You go to the emergency room where the doctor treats you for a migraine and sends you home. Later that night, you suffer a major stroke. It could have been prevented if the emergency room doctor had not disregarded your symptoms and had taken the time to correctly diagnose your condition.

It's a story we hear all too frequently. The details change from one person to the next, but the cause of injury remains the same: emergency room error.

At the Law Offices of Benjamin Fogel, Inc., we have been helping victims of emergency room error recover financial compensation for the devastating injuries they have suffered for more than 37 years. Our medical malpractice attorney is skilled in handling all types of cases involving emergency room error.

Frequently, clients contact us after being treated for the wrong condition. They went to the emergency room complaining of chest pain, shortness of breath and indigestion—a common symptom of heart attack. The doctor treated them for indigestion and sent them home, where they suffered a major cardiac arrest. Or a patient comes to the emergency room with fever, general aches and pains, and a stiff neck, a well-known symptom of meningitis. The doctor treats the patient for the flu. The patient later suffers brain damage from the undiagnosed meningitis. Pneumonia and appendicitis are also often missed without a thorough medical examination, and can result in serious injuries.

None of these devastating injuries had to happen. They were the clear result of a doctor who did not follow established standards of medical care.

Because of the depth of our legal and medical knowledge, we can ably pursue the full amount of financial compensation you deserve for the injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenses, wage loss, and other damages you have endured.
