Common Types of ER Errors in Florida
Emergency rooms can be chaotic environments where medical professionals must make quick decisions under pressure. Unfortunately, this can sometimes result in errors that have lasting consequences. Some common types of ER errors include:
- Misdiagnosis: A misdiagnosis can lead to delayed or incorrect treatment, causing the patient's condition to worsen.
- Medication errors: These can occur when a patient is given the wrong medication, an incorrect dosage, a medication to which they have a known allergy, or experiences a harmful drug interaction.
- Surgical errors: Mistakes during emergency surgery can have severe or even deadly consequences.
- Failure to order appropriate tests: If an emergency room physician fails to order necessary diagnostic tests, it can result in a missed or delayed diagnosis.
- Inadequate patient monitoring: Failing to properly monitor a patient's vital signs and symptoms while they are receiving emergency care can lead to further complications.
- Wrongful discharge: Discharging a patient who should have been admitted can have deadly results.
Why ER Errors Happen
There are several factors that can contribute to emergency room malpractice:
- Overcrowding: Emergency rooms often treat a high volume of patients, which can result in inadequate staffing and increased waiting times.
- Fatigue: Long hours and demanding work can lead to exhausted medical professionals making mistakes.
- Lack of communication: Poor communication among medical staff can result in errors, such as the failure to relay important information about a patient's condition or treatment plan.
- Inadequate training: Medical professionals who are not adequately trained in emergency care may not recognize certain symptoms or know how to treat them effectively.
Who Is Responsible for ER Malpractice?
Determining who is responsible for emergency room malpractice can be complex, as multiple parties may be involved in a patient's care. These parties may include:
- Physicians: Emergency room doctors can be held responsible for errors in diagnosis, treatment, or surgical procedures.
- Nurses: Nurses play a vital role in monitoring patients, administering medications, and assisting in procedures. They can be held accountable for mistakes that result in patient harm.
- Hospital or medical facility: The hospital or facility where the emergency room is located may be held responsible for inadequate staffing, lack of resources, or other systemic issues that contribute to malpractice.

"I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, & 'got my back' attitude."From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.- Joel F.

"Jeff & David are very compassionate, kind & won't let you down."I never thought that anything would ever happen to me that would lead me to post a review about this law office. Unfortunately, I was wrong and what happened was completely unimaginable so much so that police didn’t believe it at first. I was so confused and lost because it seemed that no one believed me. I googled malpractice in Florida and this was one of the offices that popped up. I called and spoke with Lori, the paralegal, and told her everything she believed me and Jeff and David did too. Due to what happened this wasn’t going to just be a civil lawsuit but a criminal one as well. They were a huge help in working with the police to get items that would prove my criminal case and would lead to felony arrest and jail time. They were there to talk to me all throughout the criminal case. Especially, Lori she truly cared and when I was all alone feeling that I wasn’t strong enough to get through this she was always there with good and caring advice. I was with this law firm for the past 3 years and Jeff and David are very compassionate and kind. From the attorneys to the paralegal they worked very hard and did so much that they have changed my life. If you are looking for an attorney office with experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate staff. I promise they won’t let you down.- Tiffany S.
