You go into surgery expecting a certain amount of risk. There are waivers to sign that acknowledge the potential for infection and other understandable surgical complications. But you also trust that your surgeon will be exercising the utmost care during your surgery.
Unfortunately, for many medical malpractice victims, surgery can do more harm than good when doctors and surgical staff members abuse their medical positions and fail to make judgments in a patient’s best interest.
Surgical malpractice can occur on any type of procedure — from a simple “routine” surgery to complicated heart surgery. Attorney Mark P. Cressman handles medical malpractice cases where a surgeon or surgical staff member made a critical error that resulted in injury. Surgical malpractice can include:
- drug reactions
- anesthesia errors
- birth injuries
- infection due to nonsterilization
- instruments or equipment being left in the surgical site
- perforations of internal organs
- incorrect incision
- wrong site surgery
- delayed surgery
- prolonged surgery
- failure to obtain informed consent
- plastic surgery/appearance deformities
If you’ve lost a loved one after a surgical malpractice error, our wrongful death team can let you know if you have a case within 3 – 5 days after receiving all medical records.
