Fighting For The Rights Of Those Injured Due To Surgical Errors

ANCHORAGE SURGICAL ERROR Lawyer

What Are Your Legal Options After a Surgical Error?

According to surgical error statistics research done by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), at least 4,000 surgical errors occur in the United States each year. While this may be a small amount when compared to the number of surgeries performed in the U.S. each year, surgical malpractice is still an ongoing issue that impacts thousands of people each year.

When someone acts negligently or carelessly and causes an injury to you, it should never go unnoticed. I am here to help you find appropriate financial compensation to help you recover from a surgical error.

As the founding attorney of The Law Office of David Henderson, I have been committed to helping victims of hospital negligence and doctor malpractice since 1998.

The Effects of Surgical Errors

Mistakes made during surgery are “never events;” in other words, these are incidents that should never happen. When something goes wrong, the cause of it may be due to the doctor’s negligence although there may be many factors that can make the situation go wrong. Hospitals may be responsible under medical malpractice law if they failed to take the proper precautions and prevent injury or harm from occurring.

What is the Most Common Type of Surgical Error?

According to statistics, one of the most common type of surgical error often involves what's known as "wrong site surgery cases." These types of errors involve a doctor operating on the wrong part of a patient's body, or even the wrong patient at times! Anesthesia errors, leaving foreign objects (such as swabs or operating tools) in the patient's body, and nerve damage are the other most common types of surgical malpractice.

Other examples of common surgical errors include:

  • Internal bleeding
  • Organ damage, including brain injuries
  • Infection
  • Disfigurement
  • Damage to the nervous system
  • The surgery fails to meet expectations
