Connecticut Emergency Room Malpractice Lawyer
Hartford Emergency Room Error & Negligence Attorney
An emergency room error can mean the difference between life and death or prolonged illness and a speedy recovery. Emergency room nurses and physicians are responsible for diagnosing injuries and medical conditions accurately. When their negligent mistakes cause injury, illness or death, the injured person or the family will need help obtaining resources, information and support.
How we can help
The attorneys at Advocates Law Firm have been filing claims for victims of emergency room errors since 1983. Our Connecticut emergency room malpractice lawyers have successfully obtained compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and non-economic damages such as past and future pain and suffering. Emergency rooms are often understaffed for the volume of patients they must handle. However, this is not an excuse. One way to decrease the number of emergency room errors is to hold them accountable. We work toward that goal.
Why consider our law firm after an emergency room error?
Our lawyers include a board certified physician and a well-known teacher and author of Medical Malpractice Claims – Connecticut Actions and Remedies (Butterworth Publishing 1993). These credentials and experiences give us the tools to build strong cases for clients who have been injured by emergency room mistakes. We are well regarded by our colleagues throughout the state; they have provided us with an AV* rating in the Martindale-Hubbell* peer rating service.
