Surgical Errors

Surgery can be frightening. When errors and complications happen because of a surgeon’s negligence, results can be devastating. Physicians are held to a standard of care and when it is not met, litigation is often the only recourse to learn what happened and what could have been done differently. Malpractice can occur in every type of surgical practice including orthopedics, cardiac, neurological, liver & gallbladder, kidney & urinary tract, ENT, obstetric & gynecological with tragic results ranging from post-surgical infection to unnecessary surgery.
