Brooklyn Surgical Error Lawyers
Surgery is an anxiety-provoking prospect for many individuals, and for good reason. Even relatively minor surgical procedures carry certain risks. While most surgeries are completed successfully, some lead to painful and sometimes even dangerous complications.
Surgical complications often result from errors, which occur when a surgeon or another medical worker commits a negligent action. If you or someone you love has been affected by such an error, contact the Brooklyn surgical error lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273.
Types of Errors
Though many surgical errors result from a surgeon’s negligence, some may occur because of clerical errors or negligent post-op caregivers. A number of mistakes may be considered surgical errors, such as:
- Wrong Site Surgery
- Surgery on Wrong Patient
- Incorrect Surgical Procedure
- Mishandling of Surgical Instruments
- Foreign Objects inside Body Cavity
- Improper Suturing
- Post-Surgical Complications
Any of these errors may cause a patient’s condition to worsen. In many cases, this may mean long-term health ailments or even death. Patients who do suffer injuries because of surgical errors are covered under medical malpractice laws.
Before pursuing legal action against a surgeon or his or her medical staff, consult with an experienced Brooklyn surgical error attorney to learn more about the procedure.
