The Truth About Surgical Malpractice Cases
Often it is not a question of whether the serious or fatal complication arose out of a surgical mistake; rather, the central argument is whether the surgeon and hospital staff committed medical malpractice by failing to recognize that the surgical complication has occurred.
For example, in a gynecological or gall bladder surgery, a nicked bowel is a recognized risk. The fact that it occurs is often not cause for a lawsuit. If, however, the doctors fail to diagnose or manage the infection that results and the patient is seriously harmed, they may be held responsible for their negligence.
If a surgical mistake or misdiagnosed and untreated complication has caused long term or permanent disability, needless pain and suffering or even untimely death, please contact the law firm of James R. Page to discuss your case with an experienced trial lawyer committed to fighting for the victims of surgeon malpractice.
Victims of Surgical Mistakes Should Consult an Attorney Immediately
When doctor error or surgeon malpractice causes serious or fatal injury, the hospital and its insurance adjusters will often step in immediately in an attempt to limit their financial liability.
