Charlotte Emergency Room Errors

BMA Blue Light Logo

Emergency rooms are hectic places by their very nature. Nurses and doctors must make judgment calls regarding diagnosis and treatment while working with patients who have suffered trauma and are in need of immediate care.

Even though emergency rooms are busy places, emergency room doctors and nurses are required by law to follow a high standard of care while diagnosing and treating their patients. When emergency room doctors and nurses act in a negligent manner, or when a hospital does not implement its own emergency procedures, the injured patient or their family may have a valid medical malpractice claim.

Experienced Attorneys Handling Medical Malpractice Claims

The law firm of Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC, in Charlotte, has more than 50 years of experience handling medical malpractice involving medication errors, surgical and post-surgical errors, and general errors in treatment. Our firm’s Charlotte emergency room error lawyers have recovered tens of millions of dollars in medical malpractice cases in North Carolina. We have the skills and experience level to prove doctors, nurses, or hospitals acted in a willful or negligent manner resulting in serious medical malpractice claims, such as:

  • Failure to diagnose: Failure to properly identify the signs or symptoms of a serious or life-threatening health condition
  • Surgical errors: Mistakes made during emergency surgery, including anesthesia errors and failure to remove surgical implements
  • Nursing errors: Nursing staff mistakes with regard to communication or documentation errors, or carrying out medical care ordered by the physician in charge
  • Premature discharge: Irreversible harm may occur if a hospital prematurely discharges a patient instead of monitoring the patient for additional signs of illness.

At Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC, we prepare all of our medical malpractice claims for a favorable trial verdict.
