Cumming Surgical Error Attorney
Cumming Medical Malpractice Lawyer for Surgical Error Claims
Even with today's modern medical facilities, experienced surgeons, and state-of-the-art equipment and services, every surgical procedure involves some form of risk. For many patients, everything usually proceeds as expected. For many others, however, surgical mistakes or errors during surgery can leave individuals and families with questions about exactly what went wrong, how it could have been prevented, and who is responsible for their injury or loss. From surgery performed on the wrong part of the body to failing to diagnose and treat infections after even a routine surgical procedure, finding an experienced medical malpractice lawyer to aggressively pursue a surgical negligence claim can make a huge difference in the outcome of a case.
Some of the most common incidents that lead to litigation over a surgical error include:
- Unnecessary surgery
- Wrong-site surgery
- Amputation of the wrong limb
- Surgical instruments left in patients
- Anesthesia errors
- Post-surgical infections
- Improperly performed C-sections during a birth
- Plastic surgery mistakes
All medical professionals, including surgeons, are expected to adhere to standards, best practices and protocols involving safe medical treatment for their patients. Deviations from these accepted standards can result in tragic consequences for people who put their trust in doctors, surgeons, nurses and anesthesiologists in operating rooms throughout the country. Our goal is to determine where the standards of care were compromised, by whom and why.
Whether the injury occurred before, during or after a surgical procedure, our skilled lawyer will conduct a meticulous investigation of the surgical mistake, including:
- Performing a review of the operating room video
- Interviewing all surgical staff who were present
- Examining patient care records and reports associated with the incident
- Taking testimony from medical experts who can help to clarify exactly what happened
