Santa Rosa Emergency Room Error Attorney
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), passed by Congress in 1986, established certain obligations for emergency room facilities that accept Medicare payments. Specifically, this law requires emergency rooms to seek to stabilize patients regardless of their ability to pay, citizenship or legal status. Emergency rooms are not to "dump" or transfer patients until their emergency medical conditions have been stabilized.
In addition to the parameters of this law, emergency room personnel are expected to follow acceptable standards of care of patients who entrust them with their well-being, as is true of any physician.
If you believe that your health was put at risk because of an emergency room error in Santa Rosa or in any nearby community, contact Teal Montgomery & Henderson. Did you experience pain, suffering, expense, a worsened condition or death of a family member because of negligence or misdiagnosis in a Santa Rosa hospital emergency room?
Contact Teal Montgomery & Henderson, a well-established medical malpractice law firm, to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced plaintiff's lawyers to discuss your case.
- Were you turned away from the ER despite the fact that you presented yourself with a life-threatening medical emergency?
- Was triage handled ineffectively, resulting in your placement farther down the list of priority cases than your condition warranted — thus resulting in a heart attack, stroke or other negative outcome that could have been avoided with prompt treatment?
- Did intake nurses fail to diagnose your impending or in-progress heart attack, stroke or breathing emergency in time to avert a worse medical disaster?
You may now face additional expenses because emergency room doctors or nurses made a serious mistake. You will have medical bills for additional surgery, for an additional hospital stay and for therapy afterward. You may have income loss due to additional time off work. Your family may experience hardship due to travel expenses related to the surgery.
