We’ve Recovered Millions for Our Clients
Every surgery, no matter how minor, carries with it a certain amount of risk. Though great pains are taken to prevent errors in the operating room, some patients wake up to find a preventable mistake had been made during their surgery.
Common causes for surgical errors can include:
- Surgeon incompetence: The surgeon may not have possessed the necessary procedure skill.
- Improper surgery techniques: The surgeon may have skipped a step to save time.
- Insufficient preoperative planning: Medical staff may have rushed planning the operation.
- Surgeon fatigue: Long shifts may affect those operating on the patient.
- Poor communication: Incorrect information may lead to injuring the patient.
- Neglect: An example of this could include failure to properly sterilize instruments.
About Common Surgical Errors
To prove surgical error occurred, you will need to carefully examine hospital records, interview staff, and retain objective medical experts. That is why it is often beneficial to retain the counsel of a skilled personal injury following such an event. You must also prove that a legitimate surgical error caused sufficient enough damage to warrant compensation.
Common types of surgical errors can include:
- Nerve injury during surgery
- Too much or too little anesthesia
- Performing an incision at the wrong location
- Leaving a piece of equipment inside a patient
- Operating on the wrong body part
- Operating on the wrong patient
