EMERGENCY ROOM NEGLIGENCE

Emergency room errors can involve misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose a condition, medication errors, and other types of medical mistakes.
 

At the Law Offices of Benjamin Fogel, Inc., we frequently hear scenarios of medical malpractice. Someone's head is pounding. They go to the emergency room and get migraine medicine. Later that night, he or she suffers a major stroke. This could have been prevented if emergency room doctors took time to diagnose the condition.
 

We frequently hear situations like this. The details change from one person to the next, but the cause of the condition remains the same - emergency room errors.

Strong Background Protecting Emergency Room Victims

For more than 40 years, attorney Benjamin Fogel has helped emergency room victims recover financial compensation for their devastating injuries. He has extensive experience holding negligent medical professionals accountable for a variety of hospital errors.
 

Frequently, clients are treated for the wrong condition. For example, doctors might treat a patient for indigestion and later find the individual suffered cardiac arrest. In other situations, a patient comes to the emergency room with fever, general aches and pains, and a stiff neck - well-known meningitis symptoms. But the doctor treats the patient for the flu. Pneumonia and appendicitis are also often missed without a thorough medical examination, and can result in serious injuries.
 

None of these devastating injuries had to happen. They are clear results of doctors failing to follow established standards of care.
 

Successful Track Record

For more than 40 years, Mr. Fogel has obtained large settlements and verdicts for accident victims. For example, his clients were awarded $250,000 for the wrongful death of their mother, who had hip surgery and was placed on blood thinning medication. The doctor failed to read the lab results, which showed she was bleeding internally from the medication.
 

As a result of Mr. Fogel's help, the family obtained the maximum compensation allowed under California law. We are proud of the large settlements and verdicts we have obtained for clients in medical malpractice.
