Connecticut Emergency Room Errors Attorney

Emergency rooms are — by their very nature — chaotic. Errors in treatment are bound to happen. An emergency room doctor or triage nurse may fail to observe symptoms of a serious illness — with disastrous results for the patient.

In the aftermath of an emergency room error, you may have questions about whether the error was innocent or the result of medical malpractice. It is important to seek early legal advice regarding a potential legal claim based on an emergency room error.
