You Have a Right to Know What Went Wrong in Your Surgery
Any surgery carries inherent risks and complications that may result in serious injuries for the patient. The surgeon has the responsibility to inform the patient of these risks prior to the procedure and must follow reasonable standards of care during the operation. When those standards are not followed and injuries result, you may be able to pursue compensation by filing a medical malpractice claim against those responsible for the negligence.
At the law firm of Hill & Associates, in Philadelphia, we have seen the errors that surgeons can make due to carelessness or negligence and the terrible consequences of those errors for innocent patients. Our lawyers work with experts in the medical field to assess cases and determine who is at fault and whether a medical malpractice claim is in the best interests of the client. When it is, our attorneys will pursue compensation aggressively and responsibly.
If your surgeon or other medical professional deviated from the standard of care during your procedure, and you suffered an injury as a result, we will hold them accountable. Contact us today to learn more about your rights to compensation.
Experienced Assistance for Surgical Errors in Pennsylvania
At Hill & Associates, we have worked with clients who have suffered injuries from a wide range of surgical errors, including:
- Surgery on wrong body part or organ
- Surgical equipment that is left in the body
- Gastric bypass errors
- Defective medical implants and other equipment
- Anesthesia errors
- Infections
- Postoperative recovery errors
Many of these errors may not be immediately obvious after the surgery has taken place. Additionally, not all surgical injuries are the result of negligence. You will not know if you have a valid medical malpractice claim unless you talk with an experienced lawyer about your situation. When your injuries were caused by a lack of concentration, improper preparation or a lack of concern for safety, we will hold the surgeons and medical professionals accountable.
