SURGICAL ERRORS - A Qualified and Experienced Surgery Malpractice Lawyer is Essential.
The Federal government estimates that over 100,000 die annually because of medical negligence by a doctor, nurse, and/or hospital. A large percentage of these deaths can be attributed to errors made by health care professionals during surgery.
Some of these errors include severed or punctured vessels, organs, or bowels, products or devices being left in from a surgical procedure, and performing the wrong procedure.
Whether a physician or facility has been negligent is typically determined by a peer within that area of expertise, adding expense to an already expensive and difficult litigation process. Therefore, experienced representation is essential to assist individuals who have been injured by medical negligence or who have family members who were injured as the result of medical negligence.
These cases are extremely difficult to litigate and prove. An unsuccessful surgery doesn't necessarily mean the doctor was negligent. However, errors do happen and you or your family deserve compensation for the emotional and economic problems that may result. If you believe you or a loved one was a victim of medical malpractice due to an error made during surgery, and that error caused serious complications or death, please fill out the form below.
