Connecticut Emergency Room Error Attorney
Emergency rooms are inherently chaotic, increasing the likelihood of treatment errors. If an ER doctor or triage nurse misses serious symptoms, it can have severe consequences. If you suspect that an error was due to medical malpractice, seeking legal advice early is crucial to assess your potential claim.
In the aftermath of an emergency room error, you may have questions about whether the error was innocent or the result of medical malpractice. It is important to seek early legal advice regarding a potential legal claim based on an emergency room error.

Client Testimonials
I had the privilege of being represented by Mr. John Kennedy. He was someone I could trust to be honest and walk me through a difficult time. Taylor, his paralegal, took the time to explain each circumstance that came about. I appreciate the work that was done by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Nelligan. I would recommend Attorney John Kennedy because of his integrity and genuine concern he showed to me. My experience with them was something I will never forget and will always be thankful for.
