Surgical Errors

All surgeries carry a degree of risk. However, sometimes avoidable errors may be made during a surgical procedure. Common surgical mistakes that may result in a favorable medical malpractice verdict include anesthesia errors, blood-type mistakes, wrong site surgery, and surgical instruments left in the body of the patient.

When surgeons commit critical errors while performing surgery, they can be held liable for injuries or deaths that result. An act of medical negligence can cause serious injuries that can lead to devastating physical and financial consequences for the patient. Hospital or medical negligence on the part of a surgeon can lead to loss of motor skills, diminished cognitive abilities, paralysis, and even wrongful death.
