"Do Justice." — Micah 6:8

Our Greenville emergency room error lawyers handle cases involving:

• Misdiagnosis
• Failure to treat in a timely manner
• Medications errors
• Failing to order a timely consult by a specialist
• Forgetting to order or follow-up on lab results, other tests
• Inadequate equipment on hand
• Complications resulting from an incorrectly performed medical procedure
• Incorrect charting
• Skipping important questions when taking a medical history
• Failing to obtain informed consent before performing new or invasive medical techniques

One of the most common and serious emergency room errors is failure to diagnose and treat a patient in a timely manner because the totalities of the symptoms presented were  not evaluated correctly by the doctor or nurse. For instance, a doctor may not realize that jaw pain or pain in the upper back can signify a heart attack. Women and diabetics sometimes exhibit different symptoms than the classic shortness of breath and chest pain radiating through to the left arm.

Likewise, identifying a stroke early and administering medication timely can reverse or prevent potential long-term damage. Spotting appendicitis, meningitis, organ failure, internal bleeding, infection and other serious conditions early can be the difference between life and death.
