Emergency Room Errors in Ohio
When you enter an emergency room, there is a basic expectation that the work there will significantly improve your health. Unfortunately, this not always the case, and every year thousands of people die because of errors in the ER. Mistakes amid the confusion of an emergency room are sadly all too common. These mistakes can have serious, potentially even fatal, implications. If you or a loved one were significantly harmed because of negligence in the emergency room, it is important to know that you have rights.

When Can You Sue the ER?
Just as with any other malpractice case, in order to win a claim against an emergency room, you must be able to prove the following:
- The there was a doctor-patient relationship between the patient and the responsible party
- The doctor or medical staff was negligent in their treatment or advice given to the patient
- The patient experienced injury or harm as a result of that negligence
What Are Some Common Emergency Room Errors?
Because emergency rooms treat so many different types of injuries and illnesses, there are a variety of different types of errors that can occur when a doctor or nursing staff is negligent:
- Providing improper medication
- Administering medication that the patient is allergic to
- Misdiagnosis, or failure to diagnose (read more about Misdiagnosis here)
- Delayed treatment of a serious injury
- Discharging a patient too early
- Failing to provide proper care instructions for patients prior to them being discharged
- Failing to perform a surgery or procedure properly
