Your surgeon may hold your life in their hands during an operation. When surgery becomes necessary, you deserve a surgical team that will take their responsibility toward your health seriously, not one that will make errors that put your life in jeopardy. Residents of Harrisburg and the surrounding areas who were harmed by surgical errors can turn to our attorneys.
We have more than 30 years of collective experience representing victims of surgical errors and other forms of medical malpractice. We provide compassionate, aggressive representation to help you fight for the highest compensation possible.
How Negligence Happens in the Operating Room
Surgical mistakes take several forms, but generally they happen because of inattention by a surgical team member, sometimes during preoperative prep and sometimes during the operation itself. Examples include:
- Operating on the wrong body part, such as the right lung instead of the left
- Performing the wrong operation because you were mixed up with another patient
- Inadvertently leaving behind a sponge or other surgical tool in your body
- Anesthesia errors
Whether your injuries caused permanent disabilities or will last a relatively short time, you may qualify for full compensation for your resulting medical bills and lost wages, as well as your pain and suffering and reduced quality of life. We will review the evidence and make sure justice is done. If someone in your family died because of a surgical error, we can represent you against the medical professionals and the hospital that allowed the incident to happen.
