Surgical Mistakes

Representation From A Surgical Mistakes Attorney With the Experience to Win

Surgical mistakes can be irreversible, particularly if they involve critical areas of care such as treating a spinal injury. The financial cost of coping with them can be many times that of the original surgery. In some cases, such as a loss of vision from a LASIK surgery error, the outcome permanently changes how the injury victim lives their life.

However well-intended a medical professional is, he or she can make a surgical mistake. Nurses, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and other doctors accept this risk when they enter their profession. Many factors can contribute to surgery's inherent error risk, including lack of sleep or lack of adequate training. Medical malpractice law dictates that you do not have to accept the outcome when a medical error affects your health care.

Among the most common surgical mistakes are:

  • Equipment that has not been properly sterilized
  • Anesthesiology errors
  • Surgical implements or other equipment left inside patient's body
  • Operating on the wrong body part or wrong patient
  • Negligent amputation
