Surgical Error & Mistakes Lawyers

Orlando, Florida

All surgeries involve some risk. However, you expect the surgeon to take proper care to avoid mistakes.  Obviously, surgeries are complicated procedures and mistakes often happen.  Not all surgical errors constitute medical malpractice.  A surgical mistake constitutes medical malpractice if the mistake means that the surgeon failed to provide you with the standard of care another, similarly trained or experienced surgeon would have provided.

We specialize in medical malpractice lawsuits.  We recently recovered $1,000,000 in a medical malpractice lawsuit involving a surgical error that resulted in death.  More verdicts and settlements

When you have surgery, you expect to be treated with the utmost care and concern.  If a mistake is made during your surgery, it can put your life at risk, make recovery much more difficult, or cause you unneeded pain and suffering.  Surgical errors can include:

1. Wrong Incisions
2. Non-Sterile Equipment
3. Wrong Site Surgery
4. Organ Damage
5. Unnecessary Surgery
6. Prolonged Surgery
7. Surgical Tools Left Inside the Body
8. Anesthesia Complications
9. Punctures

Surgical errors can be life threatening and their results can change lives.  Surgical errors can cause:

1. Coma
2. Brain Damage
3. Asphyxia
4. Cardio Vascular Problems
5. Death

Medical malpractice claims involving surgical error can be complex cases.  The only people who witness or have evidence of the surgical error are the other medical professionals who were present at the time of the surgery.  Often, they are reluctant to testify against their colleagues.
