Surgical Malpractice Lawyers
Every surgery has inherent risks. That is why medical professionals are required to follow accepted standards of care during every surgery. If an injury or death occurs because of the failure to comply with these standards of care, doctors, nurses, and hospitals can be held liable for surgical malpractice.
At Savinis, D'Amico & Kane, our surgical malpractice attorneys help those injured by all types of operating room errors, including:
- Leaving surgical instruments or sponges in the body
- Performing the wrong procedure
- Incorrect incisions
- Organ puncture or laceration
- Operating on the wrong body part or wrong patient
- Anesthesia malpractice
- Failure to monitor
- Giving the wrong blood type in a transfusion
- Misreading a medical chart or history
- Improper medical clearance for surgery
- Inadequate discharge instructions
Whether you were injured by a doctor's error in the operating room or a post-surgical nursing medication error, our medical malpractice lawyers know how to help.
