Your Advocate When You Have Suffered A Surgical Injury

You go to a hospital to be cured — not to suffer additional injury.  Elective surgery should make a situation better — not be the cause of a lifelong affliction.

For three generations our law firm has been fighting for compensation for victims of surgical injuries.

The types of surgical errors we have handled include those resulting from:

• Cauda equina syndrome
• Complications caused by a fine object (surgical instrument) left in the body
• Failure to operate in a timely manner
• Gallbladder surgery errors, including common bile duct injury
• Gastric bypass surgery errors
• Heart attack or heart bypass surgery errors
• Heart valve surgery errors
• Cardiac defibrillator surgery errors
• Lung Puncture
• Hemorrhaging
• Over-anesthetizing or under-anaesthetizing
• Perforated organs including colon perforations

Partner Alan Fuchsberg obtained a $19 million verdict in a malpractice case for failure to apply the correct standard of care in a heart bypass surgery.

Often, a surgical error does not reveal itself until sometime later. A surgical complication from even a minor elective surgery can result in a serious condition. Loss of vision, loss of limbs, paralysis and other complications can affect an individual for the rest of their life.
