If you must undergo a surgical procedure, you trust your surgeon to perform the surgery safely and with the utmost care. The vast majority of surgeons perform their duties admirably. However, a slip of the hand or a mental error during surgery may have dire consequences for the patient, including permanent disability or even death. Victims of a surgical injury should consult a medical malpractice attorney immediately. At Foley Law Firm in Scranton, Stroudsburg, or Milford, Pennsylvania, a surgical injury and medical malpractice attorney can help victims understand their rights. Our team has the expertise needed to build a strong case and maximize the compensation you receive for your injuries.
Types of Surgical Injury
The types of surgical injury that occur are as varied as the surgeries themselves. While performing a procedure, the surgeon may inadvertently sever a blood vessel or vital nerve, leading to dire consequences for the patient. Surgeons have operated the wrong part of the body and have performed the wrong procedure to address a patient's condition. Surgeons have even performed surgery on the wrong person. There have also been documented cases of surgical instruments and medical devices being left in the patient, necessitating another surgery to remove them. Anesthesia errors can cause brain damage and death, and medication errors can cause any number of adverse reactions.
If you have suffered a serious surgical injury, a medical malpractice attorney can help to ensure that you are compensated for the hardships you are forced to suffer. These might include medical bills (current and future), loss of wages and disability benefits, and mental anguish associated with your surgical injury. A medical malpractice attorney and nursing staff from the Foley Law Firm can assess your case and advise you of your legal options for attaining the compensation you deserve.
