When Is a Surgical Error a Mistake, and When Is It Malpractice?

Just because a surgeon made a mistake or a complication arose after surgery, it does not automatically mean that there are grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, certain complications, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), post surgical infection and brain injury caused by anesthesia error are well known. There are established standards of care to prevent these serious, life-threatening complications. When those standards are not followed, a medical malpractice lawsuit can be the best way to obtain justice.

When a surgeon's mistake or the hospital staff's failure to monitor a patient's condition during or after surgery allows a known complication to go undiagnosed and untreated, severe injury or loss of life is often the result. It can take a highly experienced lawyer to gather the necessary evidence and aggressively pursue maximum recovery in these cases.

At Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, we handle a wide range of surgical error cases, including dental malpractice (mistakes during oral surgery), plastic surgery complications and serious and fatal injuries caused by surgeons operating while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. To discuss your case in a free consultation, contact our Wall Street offices today.

All surgical error cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. You will owe no attorney's fees until we recover financial compensation for you.
