Troy Surgery Malpractice Lawyers
Any surgery entails a certain amount of risk. When we choose to undergo surgery, we do so with an understanding that complications can arise and unforeseen events can take place.
We have a right to assume, however, that all surgeons, nurses and hospital staff will perform their duties in a responsible and highly professional manner to mitigate known and foreseeable risks. When we place our health and our lives in the hands of medical professionals, we have a right to expect that they will perform their duties with the highest level of competence and care.
While most medical professionals take their duties seriously, an unacceptable number of serious errors do occur during surgeries, which cause injury or death to patients. Examples of surgical negligence include:
- Operating on the wrong body part
- Failure to adequately warn patients of known risks
- Leaving instruments and equipment in patients
- Anesthesia errors
- Post-surgical errors exposing patients to higher risk of infection
- Cutting an artery and causing extreme blood loss
- Failing to properly monitor a patient's vitals
- Other doctor, nurse or medical staff negligence
