It is common for people to go into surgery with mixed emotions. They may be anxious about the surgery yet feel confident in their surgeon's abilities. It is reasonable to expect that you would be in good hands with your surgeon and medical staff. After all, surgeons as well as nurses undergo extensive training and are required to follow a standard of care.
What happens, then, when a mistake during surgery causes the death of a loved one or a very serious medical condition? As a Marietta surgical error attorney, I can help answer this question and many more. With more than 30 years of experience, I have handled all types of medical malpractice claims.
Surgical Errors Can Result in Serious Injury and Death
As an Atlanta surgery mistake lawsuit lawyer, I represent people who have been seriously injured during surgery as well as people whose loved ones have died in surgery. The types of surgeon negligence that can result in injury or death include:
- Damaging other vessels or organs during surgery
- Leaving surgical instruments (such as sponges) in the body
- Operating on the wrong body part
- Administering the incorrect dosage of anesthesia
- Improperly monitoring the patient during or after surgery
