New Jersey Medical Malpractice Lawyers Who Can Help After A Surgical Error
Surgical errors are one of the most common types of medical malpractice cases. As a patient, you put your faith in your doctor and medical team to perform a successful and error-free surgery. However, mistakes can happen and when they result in further injury to you, it may be considered medical malpractice.
At The Law Office of Miller & Gaudio PC, we help patients throughout Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties hold negligent health care professionals accountable for errors made during surgery.
What Can Go Wrong During Surgery?
Of all the types of medical care that raise people’s concerns, surgery is near the top of that list. Allowing someone else to cut into your body requires a high degree of faith in his or her skills as a surgeon.
There are few other medical procedures where the idea that something could go wrong is so prevalent. The fear people feel about being operated on is not unfounded. There are real risks. The consequences of a surgeon making a mistake can be profound and lasting.
There are many different types of errors a surgeon can commit. Some of the more common ways a surgeon can harm a patient include:
- Wrong-site surgery (operating on the wrong part of the body)
- Wrong-person surgery (performing the wrong operation on a person)
- Foreign object left behind
- Nicked or perforated organs, blood vessels or nerves
- Failure to monitor for signs of infection
Our New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers know how to navigate these cases and help injured patients take action after a serious surgical error.
Identifying When Mistakes Were Made
Often, when doctors make mistakes, they are reluctant to admit them. We work with a network of medical experts throughout Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties that allows us to identify when the care that was provided deviated from the accepted standards of care.
