How are surgical errors caused by medical malpractice?

Surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists and other medical professionals involved in surgical procedures undergo years of training in order to safely operate on people suffering from serious injuries or illnesses.

Unfortunately, some health care professionals make mistakes during surgical procedures. When they do, that’s known as medical malpractice. Some of the different ways medical malpractice can involve surgical procedures include:

  • Incompetent surgeons
  • Inexperienced surgeons
  • Misdiagnosis of medical condition by a surgeon
  • Unsanitary hospital conditions, resulting in a surgical infection
  • Poor communication between medical professionals before, during or after surgery
  • Lack of sleep, causing surgeons or other surgical staff members to make mistakes
  • Operating on a patient under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Reckless behavior, resulting in neglect or harm to a patient

Whatever mistakes were made during a surgical procedure involving you or a loved one, you should not have to suffer because of someone else’s errors. Our dedicated legal team can help you hold them accountable for their actions.

What are common surgical errors?

Surgical errors involving medical malpractice can cover a wide range, including:

  • Operating on a patient using unsterilized medical instruments, causing an infection
  • Anesthesia errors, including administering the wrong amount of anesthesia before or during the operation
  • Operating on the wrong side of a patient
  • Making an incision in the wrong part of a patient
  • Leaving surgical instruments inside a patient
  • Operating on the wrong patient

Don’t underestimate the seriousness or severity of your surgical error injury. Take strong legal action to hold the surgeon or other medical professionals accountable. Talk to an attorney at our Central Ohio law firm. We can help.

What makes medical malpractice surgical error cases so complicated?

In almost every case, most medical malpractice claims involving surgical errors turn out to be complicated legal cases. Some of the reasons why include:

  • The surgeon or other medical professional who caused your injury denies doing anything wrong.
  • The surgeon or medical professional responsible for your surgical error claims your injury could not be prevented.
  • The surgeon or hospital they work for refuses to cooperate with the investigation.
  • The surgeon or hospital hires an attorney or legal team to defend their actions.
  • The insurance company representing the surgeon or hospital denies your claim.

Don’t let surgeons, other medical professionals or hospitals intimidate you. If you or a loved one sustained a serious injury due to a surgical error, take back control. Put the power of our legal team to work for you.
