I’ve handled probably over a hundred
cases of malpractice that arose in
emergency rooms in one way or another
not all of those have gone all the way
through to litigation but it’s a very
regular part of our practice because you
know emergency rooms are where healthy
people go when something has happened
that is emergent and when they’re
treated well emergency rooms are amazing
places they take you from a place where
you were potentially going to die and
you can go you know walk out living a
normal life when things go badly in
emergency rooms people end up horribly
injured and so I’ve represented a lot of
people in emergency in the emergency
room contacts and we continue to have
that that’s a very significant part of
our practice
San Francisco, CA medical malpractice attorney Nathaniel Leeds discusses his experience handling emergency room malpractice cases. The speaker has accumulated experience handling more than a hundred cases related to malpractice incidents that originated in emergency rooms. While not all of these cases progressed to litigation, such cases constitute a regular and substantial portion of their legal practice.
Emergency rooms serve as crucial facilities where individuals seek immediate medical attention when faced with emergent health issues. When medical care is administered appropriately in these settings, it can have a remarkable and life-saving impact, transforming dire situations into opportunities for patients to return to normal life.
However, when things go awry in emergency rooms, the consequences can be devastating, resulting in severe injuries for patients. The speaker has dedicated their legal career to representing numerous individuals who have experienced adverse outcomes in emergency room settings, and this area of practice remains a significant focus for them.
