​

Common ER Errors and Negligence

ER malpractice can take many forms—from misdiagnosis and delayed treatment to improper discharge and surgical oversight. Patients in emergency rooms rely on staff to act quickly, accurately, and with care. When doctors or nurses fail to order necessary tests, ignore vital signs, or dismiss serious symptoms, patients can suffer strokes, heart attacks, internal bleeding, and other catastrophic outcomes. In many New York hospitals, understaffing and overcrowding only increase the risk of error.

Proving Medical Negligence in the ER

Bringing a successful ER malpractice claim in New York requires more than just showing that a bad outcome occurred—it must be proven that the medical provider deviated from the accepted standard of care. At Leitner Warywoda, we dig deep to uncover hospital records, communication logs, and staff decisions that reveal where the system failed. Our team partners with expert witnesses in emergency medicine to build clear, compelling cases that demonstrate negligence and secure justice.
