Surgical Errors

Entering into surgery, you would expect that you will end up better after the surgery than you were before surgery. You would not take the risk of surgery if you knew that you are putting your life at risk. Even a minor surgical error can lead to a fatal infection, serious illness or death. At The Lawrence Firm, PSC, we are experienced in representing the victims and families of medical malpractice, including surgical errors.

Injuries from surgical errors can have life-long implications. Our firm is dedicated to assisting surgical error victims and their families to recover the compensation that they are entitled to under the law.

Many surgical errors are caused by hospital negligence, failure to follow procedure, or negligence on the part of a doctor or assisting nurse. Due to the understaffing of hospitals and the inability to properly care for patients, surgical errors are becoming increasingly common and can lead to permanent injury or death. Physicians, corporations, and hospitals are responsible for the nurses and surgical technicians that may cause injury.

Many surgical errors are the result of the surgeon negligently operating outside of the anatomical boundaries. If they accidentally nick or cut another organ, the surgical error could lead to sepsis or another dangerous infection. Our attorneys will review the necessary medical documents to identify your injuries and pursue legal claims against all liable parties.

We are experienced with all of the following medical malpractice injuries:

• Cutting and nicking other organs
• Failure to identify anatomy
• Anesthesia mistakes
• Failure to identify blood pressure

• Failure to use proper instruments
• Improper patient condition
• Failure to use surgical instruments properly causing injuries to organs and vessels
• Failure to stay within anatomical boundaries

Our firm is highly experienced in the investigation and identification of parties responsible for medical malpractice. We will collect necessary medical documentation, contact witnesses, and consult with local and national medical experts regarding your injury.
