Emergency rooms exist to provide immediate care during life-threatening situations. When medical professionals fail to respond appropriately in these critical moments, the consequences can be catastrophic.
Emergency room errors often involve missed diagnoses, improper triage decisions, or delayed treatment of serious conditions.
The Miami Shark P.A. represents patients in Miami and throughout Florida who suffered preventable harm due to emergency room negligence. We work with qualified medical experts to determine whether proper standards were followed and whether earlier intervention could have changed the outcome.
Our office is located at 6709 North Kendall Dr #213 in Miami, and we serve clients statewide.
An emergency room error occurs when a doctor, nurse, or hospital staff member fails to meet the accepted standard of care in an urgent medical setting.
Emergency departments are fast-paced environments. However, pressure and volume do not excuse negligence.
Common ER errors include:
When symptoms are overlooked or minimized, valuable treatment time may be lost.
Many emergency room visits involve time-sensitive conditions.
Examples include:
In these cases, minutes can make a significant difference in outcome. Delayed testing, failure to escalate care, or misinterpretation of symptoms can result in permanent injury or death.
In fatal cases, surviving family members may pursue damages under Florida’s wrongful death statute.
Each case requires detailed evaluation of medical records and causation.
If you believe an emergency room error caused serious injury, do not assume that poor outcomes are simply part of emergency medicine.
Call The Miami Shark P.A. to schedule a consultation. We will review your medical records, explain your rights under Florida law, and determine whether negligence occurred.
In emergencies, every second matters. When those seconds are mishandled, accountability matters as well.
