The Complexities of Surgical Error Cases

Surgical error malpractice cases, like all medical malpractice cases, are factually and legally complex. Surgical error lawsuits require the compilation and evaluation of comprehensive medical records, as well as the input and testimony of medical and surgical experts.

Because our attorneys have almost 200 years of combined legal experience and include a former surgical nurse and former hospital counsel, we know how to successfully, efficiently, and thoroughly ready a surgical error malpractice case for trial. Our lawyers have also developed an extensive network of medical experts.

What Are Common Surgical Errors?

Surgical errors can occur at any stage of the process: pre-op, post-op, and during surgery.

Some of the more common types of surgical errors include:

• Wrong surgical plan
• Wrong surgical technique
• Surgical instruments left in the body
• Injury to internal organs, blood vessels, and nerves
• Anesthesia errors
• Failure to monitor the recovery process
• Misdiagnosis resulting in delayed surgery
• Post-surgical infections
