What Damages Can You Collect in an Emergency Room Error Lawsuit?
Emergency room errors can lead to serious consequences, including additional injuries, worsening illnesses, preventable complications, and death. Through an emergency room error lawsuit, you can collect compensation related to the physical, emotional, and financial damages you sustain due to the negligence.
