Los Angeles Emergency Room Misdiagnosis

Malpractice Attorneys Serving Los Angeles, California

The emergency room (ER) in a Los Angeles hospital is a busy place. People with life-threatening illnesses or injuries as well as relatively minor injuries may visit the emergency room, and it is up to the ER staff to quickly assess each patient's problem and make an accurate diagnosis of whether that person needs immediate medical care, or if another patient's condition is more severe and should be addressed first. With the number of consecutive hours a doctor or nurse may work at one time, weariness and stress are a common factor. The hectic environment in the ER may also open the door to malpractice or negligence. A single mistake by a distracted or tired physician or hospital employee may be catastrophic.
