Emergency Room Errors

Dealing with medical malpractice cases can prove to be intimidating and strenuous for the victim, partially because of the devastating consequences that occur as a result of medical malpractice and/or negligence. Gabriel Assaad has the experience required to help you work through the ins and outs of your case. He has an extensive background of dealing with medical malpractice cases in Washington D.C., Virginia and Maryland.

There are unpredictable and constantly changing medical problems, mild and severe, that emergency room doctors and all other on-duty staff must appraise quickly and efficiently so that all necessary treatment may be performed in a timely manner. It is crucial for hospitals to maintain order and safety within their emergency departments to reduce the risk of error and/or further injury to patients. There are many factors that can play a role in emergency room errors, including:

Failure to maintain an adequate number of staff per shift
Insufficient training
Failure to screen staff
Insufficient record keeping
Insufficient patient tracking
Unsanitary conditions
Unethical policies
Failure to diagnose a serious medical condition
Failure to perform proper tests
Premature discharge

Victims of emergency room error may be entitled to many different forms of compensation: rehabilitation, burial expenses, medical bills, loss of wages and long-term disability are a few of the many areas in which you may receive compensation. Treatment in the emergency room may be a person’s last string of survival, and if an error occurs it can be devastating for family and friends of the patient.

He will work to understand your situation and fight inside and out of the courtroom to see that you get all that you deserve.
