Surgical Medical Malpractice

Surgery, as everyone knows, is never without risks. Whenever anesthesia and surgical procedures are involved, there is always the possibility of something unforeseen occurring.   However, a bad surgical outcome which is the result of procedures below the accepted standards of care and treatment is not a risk; it is clearly <a href=http://www.cochranfirm.com/civil/medmal-surgical-mistakes.html>surgical medical malpractice</a>.

Half of all medical malpractice lawsuits filed in this country involve surgeons. These cases not only involve surgical mistakes but errors made during pre-operative work-ups and also the after surgery recovery period.

Millions of surgical procedures are performed every day. The incidence of surgical malpractice is higher than is commonly known.  Errors can occur with anesthesia, the wrong site being operated on, or the wrong limb being amputated.

At-Risk Surgical Procedures

Some surgical procedures that have been involved in surgical malpractice cases are:

• LASIK eye surgery
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Cosmetic surgery
• Back surgery
• Orthopedic surgery
• Surgical instruments left in body
• Post surgical infection

Incidents of surgical malpractice have a major negative impact on patients and their families; families and patients will need assistance in making a medical recovery. Individuals must regain the ability to move forward with their lives and become productive members of their community again following a medical mistake.

In order to move forward, these individuals must be able to access all that is available to them.  Services and agencies that offer aid are costly and put an undue financial burden on these innocent victims of negligence and malpractice. The patient and their families should not have to cope alone with the consequences of the surgeon’s mistake.

Surgical malpractice causes an untold number of deaths each year in the United States.  <a href=http://www.cochranfirm.com/civil/medmal.html>Medical malpractice</a> is the third leading cause of death in this country after heart disease and cancer.  Most problems during surgery are the result of surgeon error, an anesthesiologist’s mistake or a hospital’s negligence. Patients and their families are not equipped to determine who is at fault in these cases, and the expertise of an experienced medical malpractice attorney is necessary to fight your case.
