Emergency room errors can include all types of mistakes an ER or one of its employees make during a patient’s care.

If your lawyer can prove the medical professional and/or facility in question failed to follow the required standards of medical care during your treatment, and that this is what caused your injury or illness, you could receive compensation for your damages. Identifying the appropriate defendant, however, can be difficult.
The emergency room might be liable if it directly contributed to the incident, such as through negligent hiring or retention practices or an unsafe premises. The ER might also be vicariously liable for the errors of its staff members, including hired physicians, nurses and technicians. If the at-fault party was an independent contractor at the hospital, the individual might be liable instead.
