Find a Surgical Injury Lawyer

In undergoing a surgical procedure, a patient should be fully informed of the risks and advantages, as well as alternatives to surgery. A patient also has a right to expect that he or she will receive a proper level of treatment before surgery begins as well as during the procedure and receiving post-operative care. Unfortunately, surgical errors and malpractice may occur when a surgeon, nurse, anesthesiologist or other medical professional involved in a surgical procedure is negligent or careless. If a patient is injured as a result, this may provide sufficient grounds for a medical malpractice claim against the at-fault individual or facility. A doctor's failure to get a patient's informed consent before a procedure may also provide grounds for a medical malpractice case.
