Though all surgery involves some degree of risk, all too often
permanent injuries result from medical negligence. When you undergo
surgery, you have the right to expect your surgeon, anesthesiologist,
and other medical professionals to provide the standard of care legally
required of all healthcare practitioners. When this expectation is not
met, you are likely entitled to compensation for any medical bills,
rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering resulting from such
negligence.
Surgical errors occur most commonly during:
- Childbirth (birth injury)
- Gastric bypass surgery
- Laparoscopic surgery
- Abdominal surgery
- Cardiothoracic surgery
- Thoracic surgery
- Plastic surgery
