Recognizing Common Types of Surgical Errors
There are several different types of surgical errors that can have a negative impact on your long-term health. All of these errors tend to stem from professional negligence, though that negligence isn’t always intentional.
Common types of surgical errors can include:
- Preoperative errors, or errors that take place before a person goes into surgery. Some preoperative errors include clearing someone for surgery when they weren’t ready for a procedure or preparing to perform the wrong surgery on the wrong patient.
- Intraoperative errors, or errors that take place in the middle of surgery. Common intraoperative errors include unintentional damage to tissue, bone, nerves, or organs, or incidents wherein surgeons leave equipment behind in a patient.
- Postoperative errors, or errors that take place after a patient’s surgery. Common postoperative errors can include a professional’s failure to appropriately care for a patient’s wounds, failure to prevent infections, or failure to schedule follow-ups addressing a patient’s concerns.
Surgical Errors and Medical Negligence
Modern surgeries are complicated and can often involve a lot of moving parts. Complex surgeries aren’t guaranteed to result in negligence but can involve some inherent risk. The side effects of a complex surgery don’t automatically constitute negligence, even if they make you uncomfortable or leave you in pain.
If you want to argue that a medical professional behaved negligently, offering you care that fell significantly below the industry standard, and left you with unconscionable side effects, we encourage you to connect with a Bridgewater surgical error attorney to investigate your circumstances.
You need to prove that a medical professional owed you a duty, breached that duty, and caused you economic harm if you want to move forward with your fight for surgical error compensation. Fortunately, our team can conduct a detailed review of your circumstances and reach out to expert witnesses to help build a case on your behalf.
What to Expect From a Bridgewater Surgical Error Lawyer
Once our team investigates the specific instances of unacceptable negligence that contributed to a surgical error, we can compile our findings into a narrative of negligence.
We can then file a claim for damages with insurance companies, emphasizing that you deserve compensation based on losses like your pain and suffering, additional medical fees, and lost wages.
We can represent you in conversations with insurance adjusters and thoroughly review surgical timelines and a professional’s behavior during your procedure. During this process, we can emphasize your right to comprehensive financial support and refute any lowball settlement offers that an insurance company makes.
A Bridgewater surgical error attorney can also preserve your right to present a surgical error lawsuit to a judge for consideration. If you need to go to trial to demand a fair surgical error settlement, you can count on us to prepare you for the process before representing you. We can use professional resources, including medical experts and hard data, to make your case.
How We Pursue Surgical Error Cases
We recognize that medical malpractice cases rank among some of the most complicated in the legal world. That’s why we strive to build a strong foundation for your case. When we first start investigating the negligence that led to your losses, we can look through your surgical records to identify the specific errors that harmed you.
We can then review the standard of care and contrast it against a surgical error, identifying how a specific party breached their duty to you. In developing your claim, we draw a connection between instances of neglect and your injury, then use that connection to argue that you need financial support to overcome the cost of someone else’s misconduct.
We’re not afraid to go to bat against a hospital’s legal team. We have access to medical experts who can lend their testimony and documentation to your fight for support.
We know how to present our findings clearly, too, ensuring that neither insurance adjusters nor other lawyers can misinterpret our findings. That dedication to detail lets us fight for the financial aid you need.
