During surgery, you are vulnerable and unable to defend yourself if an error is committed. Any operation can result in surgical error that causes severe damage or kills a patient. A surgical error can take many forms. Nerve damage, when nerves have been accidentally damaged or severed, can result in very serious injuries. Organs can be nicked, creating life-threatening situations. While under anesthesia, a doctor is required to monitor vital signs, but that equipment can fail during surgery. Improper incisions and sutures can also cause life-threatening injuries.

Examples of surgical errors abound. Doctors have amputated the wrong limb. They have operated on the wrong body part. Surgeons have left surgical instruments inside the bodies of their patients. Anesthesia not administered properly can cause brain damage and even death.

Holding the doctor accountable is a way for you to pursue justice and compensation and put others on notice regarding the doctor’s surgical practices. We will strive to hold the physician responsible for the surgical error.

Your legal team will include other important members besides lawyers. We will identify experts in the medical industry who can attest that your doctor breached the most basic standards of care in committing a surgical error. The damage you have suffered and your pain and suffering deserve compensation.
