Emergency Room Malpractice

Emergency room technicians (EMTs) and physicians are trained to respond quickly to serious medical issues. They are required to diagnose the problem, stabilize the patient and begin immediate treatment to protect that person's life. When ER doctors and nurses make serious errors, they must be held accountable.

Our Helena emergency room malpractice attorneys strive to recover compensation for clients injured in any emergency room malpractice situation, including:

• Emergency room errors caused be understaffing and overworked doctors and nurses (we bring suits against the hospital)
• Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis
• Failure to accurately evaluate a patient's condition/faulty tests
• Improper treatment
• Failure to read and properly respond to a patient's medical history
• Failure to monitor
• Medication errors

Medication Errors

Without doctors, nurses and pharmacists, we may not know what medication to take or how much to take for our illnesses and injuries. We trust that these medical professionals will prescribe the proper medication, give us the right dosage and avoid errors at all costs. Yet, medical professionals working too quickly can make serious medication errors that lead to greater injuries for their patients.

At Dix, Hunt & McDonald, we bring medical malpractice lawsuits against clients injured by:

• Improper dosage, including medication overdoses or underdoses
• Wrong prescription/wrong medication prescribed
• Drug interactions caused by failing to review a patient's current medication list
• Improper method of drug administration
• Failure to monitor a patient while on drugs
• Pharmacist error/prescription error

Example of Our Success

One of our clients visited two separate emergency rooms with complaints of severe back pain. By the time she contacted us, she had already suffered permanent neurologic damage to her bowel and bladder, caused by a herniated disc. Our Montana emergency room malpractice attorneys consulted with several leading emergency room physicians and assembled a detailed damage analysis showing that our client could no longer continue her career as a dental hygienist. We prepared a videotape settlement brochure to show to the insurance company and negotiated for a $1,616,000 settlement.
