Pursuing Claims Against Negligent Doctors and Hospitals
One of the most important responsibilities of emergency room doctors and staff is to diagnose patients who come in with emergency medical conditions. When proper procedures are not followed, patients may go untreated for things that need to be addressed right away.
I am attorney Irwin E. Weiss, a Baltimore emergency room error lawyer with extensive experience helping clients throughout Maryland pursue medical malpractice claims against hospitals and emergency room doctors who have not lived up to their responsibilities.
Seeking Compensation for the Consequences of Misdiagnosis
Nobody walks into an emergency room with a diagnosis stamped on his or her forehead. ER doctors are expected to talk to patients, examine them, review their medical histories, and pursue accurate diagnoses in accordance with a procedure known as differential diagnosis.
Unfortunately, many doctors jump to the conclusion that patients have relatively minor conditions rather than taking the time to rule out more serious possibilities.
If you have suffered serious harm or have lost a loved one because a doctor misdiagnosed a serious medical emergency like a heart attack or stroke as something minor like indigestion or a muscle ache, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm done to you.
Patients who are diagnosed with the wrong conditions can also be given treatments that make things worse rather than better. Whatever the circumstances of your case, I will carefully evaluate the facts to help you determine whether you have a malpractice claim.
