EXAMPLES OF SURGICAL MALPRACTICE


Every year, tens of thousands of Americans die as a result of avoidable surgical errors. While we recognize that surgery is an exceptionally delicate task, that’s no excuse for mistakes that result in devastating injuries and even loss of life.

Our Atlanta medical malpractice attorneys have decades of experience pursuing cases related to surgical errors. We possess a unique understanding of the legal and medical issues. We know how to provide you with useful, informed guidance as you decide whether or not to pursue a case.

Common surgical errors include:

  • Anesthesia mistakes
  • Infection
  • Cutting surrounding tissue
  • Amputating the wrong body part
  • Surgical instruments left in patients

Any one of these errors can prove fatal. Even when they aren’t, they put your body in an extraordinary amount of stress, resulting in utterly unnecessary pain and suffering.
