Knowledgeable Medical Malpractice Attorneys

We know the standards of care medical professionals are held to. We recognize areas of substandard care that commonly lead to serious injury or death, such as:

• Foreign instruments left in the body: Negligence during surgery or failure to follow hospital procedure following surgery results in numerous patients leaving the operating room with sponges, surgical instruments, or other foreign objects still in their body.
• Scalpel slips: Unsteady movements, hasty movements, or other negligence can cause a surgeon to slice, cut, or scrape other vital organs, nerves, tendons, veins, or arteries resulting in internal bleeding, organ failure, loss of function, or other serious problems.
• Wrong surgery: Failure to carefully review records and follow hospital procedure can cause a surgeon to perform surgery on the wrong body part (such as right leg instead of left leg), resulting in unnecessary surgery and the remaining need to perform the correct surgery.
• Inadequate post surgery care: Utilizing improper procedure during surgery or failure to perform adequate post surgical care can cause unnecessary infection, resulting in a wound that will not heal, extensive medical treatment, illness, or even amputation.
