Bruce A. Chamberlain Law Office Can Help if You or a Loved One Have Suffered as a Result of a Surgical Error

According to a 2012 John Hopkins University study, more than 4,000 preventable mistakes occur in surgery every year. Consequences? Temporary injury in nearly 60% and permanent injury in a third of those affected.

Any surgery, no matter how minor, is serious, with known risks involved. But when a surgical procedure falls below the medical standard of care and results in unexpected injury or death, you can become a victim, rather than a patient. If you or a loved one have been unexpectedly harmed or a death has occurred as a result of medical negligence or wrongful surgical practices, Bruce A. Chamberlain Law Office can help assess the situation and determine if your legal rights have been compromised.

Why Do I Need Legal Representation if I've Experienced a Surgical Error?

Surgical error results in an injury that was preventable. Common surgical errors even involve such mistakes as leaving surgical equipment in the patient, operating on the wrong body part, or – even worse – the wrong patient. The causes can stem from:

  • negligence
  • incompetence or lack of skill
  • insufficient surgical planning
  • shortcuts
  • poor communication
  • the wrong medication or anesthesia being administered
  • surgeon fatigue

Most likely, such an injury or death will result in not only emotional turmoil and distress, but medical and other related expenses can create a financial burden as well.
