Phoenix Hospital Negligence Attorney
Arizona Emergency Room Error Lawyer
In hospitals, emergency rooms, and urgent care centers, the rule is (as in all medical facilities) "First, do no harm." When a hospital or emergency care facility violates that rule, a patient may die or face a lifetime with a disabling injury. If you or a loved one has been the victim of hospital negligence, talk to a Phoenix hospital negligence lawyer at Knapp & Roberts.

Whatever the reason — inadequate staffing, inefficient procedures, a heavy patient load, poor staff training — there is no excuse for placing patients in danger by providing inadequate or negligent care.
- No doctor available: When a patient does not see a doctor, symptoms may go unnoticed or may be dismissed by less knowledgeable health care workers.
- Failure to run tests: A busy ER or urgent care clinic may fail to run tests that are required under expected standards of care. That failure to diagnose could mean an illness will go undetected and untreated.
- Misreading tests, x-rays: A hasty or unqualified reading of lab tests or x-rays could mean that a patient who needs treatment will be sent home.
- Inadequate staffing: When patients are left without someone to monitor their vital signs or answer their calls for help, they may not receive the care they need to prevent injury.
- Improper processes: When hospital processes and procedures fail to handle medications properly, have safety equipment properly installed, or have rigid cleaning standards, for example, patient safety and well-being will be threatened.
