Ohio ER Malpractice and Mistake Lawsuits
Almost half of all medical malpractice cases arise from emergency room error. Medical mistakes in the emergency room can lead to permanent injury, serious illness and even death. Emergency rooms are very stressful environments for physicians, nurses and other medical providers. This high stress environment can lead to carelessness and substandard care opening up emergency rooms to many different types of medical malpractice claims.
