Surgical Errors

Although surgery is risky in nature, signing a consent form beforehand does not necessarily mean any injury sustained from going under the knife leaves the hospital or the doctor liability-free.

If you are harmed during surgery due to improper sterilization, poor planning, a surgeon’s alcohol usage or fatigue, you may have a medical malpractice case.

In order for it to be considered medical malpractice, we must look carefully at the underlying reasons why the mistake occurred as well as the severity of the injury itself.

Surgical errors are often preventable and can result from medical negligence or miscommunication between doctors or nurses, as well as inadequate hospital procedures.

Such errors can occur due to a lack of information during the surgical planning process, during the procedure itself, or in the postoperative phase. Errors may also occur during childbirth, leading to serious injury to the mother or fetus.
