Common Types of Surgical Errors

Surgical mistakes are often preventable and occur due to negligence, lack of training, or miscommunication. We handle cases involving:

Wrong-Site Surgery

Surgeons operating on the wrong body part can cause catastrophic injuries.

Anesthesia Errors

Overdosing, underdosing, or failing to monitor a patient during surgery can lead to brain damage or death.

Foreign Objects Left in the Body

Surgical tools, sponges, or gauze left inside a patient can cause severe infections.

Nerve & Organ Damage

A slip of the scalpel can result in permanent pain, paralysis, or loss of function.

Post-Surgical Infections

Hospitals must maintain sterile environments. Failure to prevent infections can lead to sepsis and life-threatening complications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Surgical Error Cases

  • How do I prove a surgeon was negligent?

    To win a surgical malpractice case, we must prove:

    1. The surgeon or hospital owed you a duty of care.
    2. They failed to follow the standard of care.
    3. This failure directly caused your injury.

  • How long do I have to file a surgical malpractice lawsuit in Georgia?

    You have two years from the date of injury to file a malpractice claim. However, if the error was discovered later (e.g., a surgical tool left inside your body), the deadline may be extended.

  • Can I sue if I signed a surgical consent form?

    Yes. Signing a consent form does not give doctors permission to be negligent. If a preventable mistake occurred, you may still have a case.

  • What if a loved one died due to a surgical mistake?

    Surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit to seek justice and compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering.

  • How much is my surgical malpractice case worth?

    Compensation depends on factors like medical expenses, lost wages, the severity of harm, and long-term consequences. We can evaluate your case for free.
