Surgical Errors

Need to sue for a surgical mistake injury?

Surgical malpractice is one of the leading bases for medical negligence claims against American healthcare providers every year. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) reported in 2003 that it received between five and eight reports of “wrong surgery” — i.e. wrong patient, wrong procedure, or wrong site—every month. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimates that an orthopedic surgeon’s chance of performing a wrong-site surgery during a 35-year career is 25%. An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that approximately 12,000 deaths occur each year due to unnecessary surgery.

Our team has represented the victims of surgery errors from all procedures, including:

  • Laminectomy
  • Gastric bypass
  • Circumcision
  • Mastectomy
  • Hysterectomy/hysteroscopy
  • Hip replacement
  • Appendectomy
  • Skin grafts
  • …And more.
