Before a patient undergoes a surgical procedure, they are typically informed about the inherent risks that are associated with such a surgical procedure. Virtually every surgery carries some small risk of anesthesia reactions, cardiovascular complications, blood clots, infection, and/or healing complications. But patients who undergo these surgeries do not typically anticipate surgical errors. Surgical patients rely on their reasonable belief that the surgeon and medical team performing the procedure are experienced, competent, and prudent enough to perform the surgery without committing any significant surgical errors. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Thousands of people are injured each year by surgical errors related to medical negligence. Medical negligence, known as medical malpractice, involves a medical professional's failure to exercise the skill, care, and prudence necessary to avoid causing a patient illness or personal injury.
In all of our surgical error cases, we advance all costs. No attorney fees apply unless we are able to obtain a recovery on your behalf.
Surgical errors include:
- Poor pre-operative planning & care
- Anesthesia errors
- Prolonged surgery
- Nerve damage
- Lack of sterile equipment
- Puncture or perforation of nearby organs
- Wrong site surgery
- Surgical items left inside the body
All clients of Sexner & Associates LLC benefit from our reputation for being extremely well-prepared. Our medical malpractice attorneys prepare every case, at each stage of the case, as if it were certain to go to jury trial. Because insurance companies are aware of the quality of our past work, our readiness to go to trial, and our significant track record of successes, these companies are often willing to fairly negotiate and settle our cases on reasonable terms. As many of our clients would prefer to negotiate such a settlement, rather than wait for trial, the reputation we have earned with these companies can sometimes make a significant difference to the settlement amount. In other circumstances however, when a trial is preferred, the experienced personal injury attorneys of Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC are, of course, ready to aggressively prosecute your surgical error case to achieve justice.
