Personal Injuries Resulted after
Emergency Treatment
Medical emergencies carry a higher risk of medical
malpractice than other interventions or treatments.
The patient should be aware of the legal claims he can
make in the event in which the treating physician makes
an error.

3. 3
Liability for Emergency Medical
Care
The emergency physician can be accused of medical
malpractice if, in an emergency situation, his/her
actions aggravated the patient’s condition or harmed
him/her further.
The personal injury claim can be made against the
hospital where the patient received the treatment. A
Los Angeles personal injury lawyer can help you file
your claim.

4. 4
Medical Malpractice in Emergency
Situations
A mistake made by a physician during emergency
medical care can severely influence the outcome of
the treatment or even the patient’s chances of
survival.
Patients who have suffered more as a result of
medical malpractice in emergency situations may
claim compensations for their aggravated health
condition and the suffering they went through.

5. 5
Examples of Medical Malpractice
Cases in which emergency physicians can be
accused of medical malpractice include:
 failure to diagnose;
 improper management of treatment;
 improper performance of the chosen treatment or
procedure;
 failure to order medication.

6. 6
The Hospital’s Liability in
Emergency Malpractice
The hospital where you were rushed to get
emergency medical aid can be held liable in the
event in which one of the physicians can be
accused of emergency malpractice.
After determining who can be accused of
negligence or gross misconduct, the plaintiff can
decide to take legal action against the physician
or the hospital.

7. 7
Proving Emergency Malpractice
Injuries
When filing a claim for emergency room medical
malpractice in Los Angeles, the plaintiff must be
able to prove that his injuries were a direct result of
the emergency physician’s mistakes or negligence.
A Los Angeles personal injury attorney’s role will
be to help prove causation and claim the damages.

8. 8
Calculating the Medical Expenses
When determining the settlement amount, the plaintiff
can include all of the medical expenses.
Because in some cases the treatment will continue
after the patient is discharged, compensations may
be claimed for future medical care.

9. 9
Compensations for Medical
Malpractice Injuries
The types of compensations for injuries
resulted after a mistake made by an emergency
physician can mean more than compensating
the medical treatment.
Compensations for pain and suffering can
also be awarded in such a case.
