Idaho Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Emergency room physicians and staff do not always have the luxury of time. People come to the E.R. bleeding or in severe pain, often waiting until their medical problem has reached a crisis stage. Thus, patients or family members may be reluctant to fault the hospital when the person dies or suffers permanent harm.
But an acute injury or pre-existing condition does not excuse doctors for bypassing standard procedures or giving scant attention to seriously ill patients who seem okay. In fact, following protocols is all the more important in the E.R., to identify or rule out life-threatening conditions and prevent errors in treatment.

We have successfully sued Idaho hospitals and physicians for failure to diagnose serious conditions, such as heart attack, stroke, brain injury, internal bleeding or a ruptured appendix. We have won damages for surgical errors and medication mistakes, which may apply in an emergency room setting.
Boise Emergency Room Errors Lawyers
A medical malpractice claim for substandard emergency care hinges on how the person was assessed and treated. Did the triage nurse fail to recognize symptoms of distress? Did the patient wait for hours before seeing a doctor? Were appropriate tests ordered? Was the person kept for observation or sent home prematurely with an undiagnosed "time bomb" condition?
We have the ability to pay for medical experts, including emergency medicine consultants, who can review the records and testify that the E.R. failed to meet the standard of care in Idaho.
Call 208-342-3501 or 877-293-9300 to arrange a free consultation, including off-hours appointments and home or hospital visits. There are no attorney fees or costs to you for the expense of expert witnesses unless we secure compensation through settlement or trial.
