Washington, D.C. and National Hospital and Emergency Room Error Law Firm

At our Washington, D.C.–based hospital and emergency room error law firm we know that emergency is the very nature of a visit to a hospital acute healthcare department. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, there were over 100 million visits to an emergency room in 2007. There were over 30 million hospital admissions.

Emergency rooms are hectic, crowded environments where continuity of care is almost impossible, patient knowledge is based on questionnaire or triage, and often lifesaving decisions must be made in moments.

But the provision of emergency care is the daily business of hospital acute healthcare facilities. Unlike any other business, health emergencies can be expected, and so is a reasonable standard of care. If you or a family member has been injured in an emergency room setting, contact our Washington, D.C.–based emergency room and hospital error lawyers.

Types of hospital and emergency room errors

Each year approximately 100,000 people die as a result of medical errors. Many more are injured by malpractice.

Klores Perry Mitchell P.C. is an established Washington, D.C.–based national law firm handling matters arising from hospital, emergency room or physician errors in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia and nationally. Although most emergency room and hospital visits end uneventfully, negligent mistakes can include the following:

• Misdiagnosis: Failure to fully evaluate a patient can lead to improper or inadequate emergency room and hospital treatment. Patients who do not receive accurate assessments and treatment can suffer permanent and devastating injuries.
• Poor patient monitoring: Gathering appropriate medical information and performing ongoing monitoring is vital to providing good care to individuals admitted to an emergency room or hospital. Because of the busy nature of an emergency department and hospitals, patients are sometimes left unattended in hallways or even their own rooms. Some of these patients suffer acutely, and may experience permanent physical damage, or die from poor monitoring.
• Medication errors: Medication errors are unfortunately very common. Hospital errors are also made by nurses, pharmacies, technicians and physicians who often administer a different drug or different dosage than ordered. When the wrong medicines are given, various injuries can occur.

If you experience negligent treatment during a hospital or emergency room visit, contact our qualified law firm experienced with emergency room and hospital error.
