Surgical Malpractice Lawsuits in the US: Legal Help for Victims

Surgical errors can have serious and irreversible consequences for a patient's health. If you or a loved one has suffered due to medical negligence during surgery, you may be entitled to compensation. Our medical malpractice attorney team provides comprehensive legal representation for surgical error cases in the US.

 

When Can You File a Surgical Malpractice Lawsuit?

A lawsuit may be filed when the following conditions exist:

  1. The surgeon or medical staff made an error that deviated from accepted medical standards of practice;
  2. The doctor's actions or inactions caused actual harm to the patient's health;
  3. There is medical documentation, expert opinions or other evidence proving negligence.

Common examples of surgical errors include: leaving foreign objects in the body, operating on the wrong body part, improper anesthesia administration, nerve or organ damage, and infections due to failure to maintain sterility.

 

What Does the Legal Service Include?

Our legal service focuses on comprehensive client representation:

  1. Initial consultation with case analysis and evaluation of lawsuit prospects;
  2. Collection and legal assessment of medical records;
  3. Engagement of independent medical experts to prepare reports;
  4. Preparation and filing of a lawsuit;
  5. Negotiations for pre-trial settlement with hospitals or insurance companies;
  6. Full court representation through final judgment.

 

Why Is It Important to Hire an Attorney for Surgical Error Cases?

Medical malpractice lawsuits are among the most complex cases in US law. They require not only knowledge of legal procedure but also understanding of medical standards. An attorney:

  1. Determines whether a surgical error actually occurred from a legal standpoint;
  2. Ensures proper preparation of evidence;
  3. Negotiates with experienced healthcare facility attorneys;
  4. Helps secure maximum compensation covering physical, emotional and financial damages.

 

What Compensation Can Be Obtained?

Compensation in surgical error cases may include:

  1. Costs of additional treatment and rehabilitation;
  2. Lost wages and reduced earning capacity;
  3. Compensation for pain and suffering;
  4. In case of death - payments to family members.
