Can I still sue if my family member was discharged from the ER and died at home?

Yes. One of the most common forms of ER negligence is premature discharge — sending a patient home before they are appropriately evaluated, diagnosed, or stabilized. If a patient was discharged from a Georgia emergency room and subsequently died at home from the very condition the ER failed to diagnose, surviving family members may have a wrongful death claim. These cases require careful reconstruction of what the ER knew or should have known at the time of discharge. Our investigators and medical experts are experienced in building these cases.
