Lawyers for Victims of Surgical Error
There is no guarantee of a positive outcome to any surgery. However, surgical patients can and should expect medical professionals to follow correct procedures and uphold the established standards of care in all surgeries.
If a surgeon, nurse, or other medical professional breached a standard of care, he or she may be guilty of medical negligence. At D'Amico, Griffin and Pettinicchi, LLC, our attorneys pursue legal action in cases of surgical error.

For example, one of our patients had surgery to remove polyps from his nasal passages. The surgeon mishandled the instrument he was using and punctured our client's brain.
