Common Examples of Serious Surgical Errors
Whether your surgical error seemed minor or severe, you should take immediate action if you have suffered any type of damages or additional injuries.
At Levinson Axelrod, P.A., we represent clients who have been injured by surgical errors including but not limited to:
- Anesthesia errors
- Tissue or ligament damage
- Forgotten surgical instruments left in the body
- Infection caused by negligence
- Incorrect use of surgical instruments
- Failure to consider a patient’s medical history
- Failure to recognize symptoms during operation
- Misreading lab or test results prior to surgery
- Any type of preventable damage to other body parts
- Any other error in the operating room
When you go into surgery, you are trusting that a physician or medical professional is prepared and will conduct the procedure properly and with great care. When they fail to take the appropriate actions and make a surgical error, you deserve to be compensated for your damages.
Who Is Liable for NJ Surgical Errors?
Although the surgeon is the one who caused you injury, often the hospital at which they work will be considered liable. This is because the surgeon was acting on the hospital’s behalf, and therefore, the hospital had a duty of care to you (its patient) to provide you with reliable and attentive medical care. If a surgeon was inadequately trained or simply negligent, the hospital should have known and acted to protect its patients, including you. The same applies to clinics and other health care centers that employ surgeons.
