Failure to Diagnose and Other Negligence in the E.R.
An emergency room can be a chaotic workplace. The E.R. doctors and nurses do not always have the luxury of time when patients arrive in severe distress. However, emergency room personnel have a duty to treat every person in a reasonable time frame and to perform due diligence in diagnosis and treatment or before releasing the person from the hospital.
Our Fort Lee law firm has the proven ability to hold physicians and hospitals accountable for medical malpractice, including medical negligence in the emergency room. Attorney Jae E. Lee of Fishman McIntyre P.C. is an experienced trial lawyer, and we have the resources to hire the experts necessary to support a malpractice lawsuit.

Did your loved one suffer permanent damage or die while "parked" in the E.R. waiting room or an exam room?

Was your family member discharged with unresolved or undiagnosed symptoms such as severe headache, chest pain or abdominal pains?
