Understanding Surgical Errors & Malpractice

There is an element of risk associated with any surgery. As such, experiencing an adverse event during or after surgery is not necessarily proof enough that malpractice occurred. Surgical malpractice occurs when a surgeon, anesthesiologist, or other medical professional associated with the preoperative, perioperative, or postoperative care of a patient fails to provide a standard level of care – and a patient is injured as a result.

Some potential types of surgical errors include:

  • Leaving a foreign object behind in a patient
  • Operating on the wrong body part
  • Performing the wrong procedure or an unnecessary procedure
  • Organ or nerve damage
  • Incorrect dose of anesthesia
  • Failure to monitor a patient during surgery
  • Negligent postoperative care (infection, etc.)
  • Lack of informed consent
  • Equipment that has not been properly sterilized
  • Misuse of surgical instruments
  • Negligent amputation
  • Laparoscopic surgery errors

Seeking Compensation for a Wrong Medical Procedure

Experiencing harm from a medical operation gone wrong can leave you with significant physical, emotional, or financial burdens. You may be eligible for compensation, and Fay Law Group, P.A.'s expert medical malpractice lawyers are ready to guide you through the intricate legal landscape and stand up for your rightful justice.

When pursuing a medical malpractice claim for a wrong medical procedure, it is important to consider the following:

  • Evidence of the wrong procedure performed
  • Evidence of carelessness or medical error
  • Documentation of resulting injuries or harm
  • Testimony from experts to bolster your claim

In Washington, DC, our team of surgical error attorneys has consistently delivered successful outcomes in medical negligence cases. We are aware of the hurdles you encounter and are dedicated to protecting your rights with unwavering resolve throughout the legal process.

What Compensation Can I Receive For a Surgical Error?

As surgical error attorneys in Washington DC, we aim to educate you on the types of compensation you may be entitled to for a surgical error. Compensation typically covers several areas, including medical expenses incurred due to the error, such as additional surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care. You may also claim for lost wages if the error has impacted your ability to work, as well as loss of future earning potential if your career prospects are affected long-term.

Non-economic losses, such as compensation for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and a diminished quality of life, are crucial aspects of a claim. In instances of severe negligence, punitive damages may be awarded to serve as a deterrent. As your Washington DC surgical error attorney, our goal is to meticulously assess your case, ensuring every potential compensation avenue is explored and pursued. At Fay Law Group, P.A., we are committed to championing your rights, striving to secure the comprehensive and just compensation you deserve to help you rebuild your life after a surgical error.
