Experienced Trial Attorneys Protecting the Value of Your Claims
If we can establish that severe or permanent injuries resulted from negligence in the operating room, our experience in medical malpractice litigation can help increase the odds that you'll recover the full measure of damages you're entitled to from a negligent surgeon, nurse or hospital.
We can advise you about your rights across the full spectrum of surgical errors:
- Mistakes in clearing a patient for surgery
- Anesthesia errors
- Wrong-side procedures on legs, shoulders, lungs, kidneys or ovaries
- Foreign objects or surgical instruments left in a body cavity or surgical wound
- Mistakes in laparoscopic or bariatric surgery
- Infections caused by negligence in surgery or postoperative recovery
- Improper technique
- Negligent failure to diagnose cancer through tumors that could have been discovered in surgery
- Negligent failure to diagnose deep venous thrombosis during surgery
In malpractice cases involving errors in neurosurgery or procedures near the spinal cord, the consequences of negligence can be disastrous. Our experience with surgical errors resulting in permanent injury or paralysis can represent a significant advantage for our firm's clients.
Our trial attorneys won a $10.6 million jury verdict in March 2009 for surgical errors that rendered a 52-year-old woman paralyzed from the chest down. Prior to surgery, the patient's symptoms primarily involved chronic pain in her right arm.
