The Risks of Surgical Errors

We trust that the surgical team in charge will be extra mindful, knowing that the damages from errors during surgery can cause some of the most damaging and lasting effects. As a standard practice, most patients should be given fair warning of the risks they may face while undergoing surgery. Unfortunately, we cannot always foresee negligence when the surgical team neglects to minimize this risks or acts opposite of what is expected.

We have seen cases involving the following examples of surgical errors:

• Using surgical tools incorrectly
• Inattentive or undertrained staff
• Operating on the incorrect part of the body
• Lack of sanitation of surgical tools and equipment
• Delaying surgery unnecessarily
• Misreading or ignoring patient history
• Misdiagnosing or failing to recognize complications
• Performing surgery incorrectly or carelessly
• Damage to other parts of the body not part of the operation

During surgery, you surrender those few short moments to the hands of a surgeon and support team. This leaves you in a vulnerable state. Many of us trust that our safety will be prioritized during a procedure, but with our bodies left so vulnerable, even the slightest error can turn into something much more serious. We know that many families suffer from the effects of injuries stemming from malpractice, and take on immense financial and emotional burdens. Our Atlanta medical malpractice attorneys can offer you legal counsel and guidance at this time.
