Surgical Errors

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. A medical mistake can happen in any type of surgery. We represent clients who have been injured by a surgical error while undergoing:

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Gall Bladder Surgery
• Abdominal Surgery
• Laparoscopic Surgery
• Gynecological Procedures
• Spinal surgery
• Other procedures

Surgical errors can take many forms, including:

• Operating on the wrong body part
• Performing the wrong procedure
• Leaving instruments behind
• Operating while impaired by drugs or alcohol
• Failure to monitor the patient
• Failure to diagnose post-surgical complications
• Nicking or perforating an organ with the scalpel
• Anesthesia errors

We will thoroughly review your case and submit your medical records to a highly-qualified, independent expert to determine whether a preventable surgical error occurred. If so we will pursue the full amount of financial compensation you are entitled to receive.
