Surgical Mistakes and Surgeon Malpractice

If you have suffered from a surgical mistake, there is hope. Legion Counsel is committed to helping patients who have been injured due to surgical mistakes. If you have lost a loved one or have been injured yourself, you may be able to seek compensation from the surgeon or hospital that was responsible. Let Legion Counsel help you find the best qualified attorney to handle your claim. The attorneys we recommend are qualified in representing patients in medical malpractice claims and will fight to get you fair compensation for your suffering.

Surgical mistakes can leave a patient in a worse condition than he or she was before arriving at the hospital for treatment. Any surgery, no matter how minor, requires a surgeon and staff who are properly trained, who are careful and who follow standard procedure. When a surgeon or his or her support staff is negligent or does not follow procedure, a person can be left permanently disfigured or paralyzed, and may even lose his or her life.

Common surgical errors and mistakes can be gruesome and life-threatening, leaving a person in a situation where they cannot enjoy the same lifestyle they had in the past, or where they require medical care for the rest of their life. Common surgical errors seen in California’s hospitals include:

• Puncturing an organ or artery
• Performing a surgery on the wrong body part
• Removing the wrong limb or organ
• A medical instrument or foreign object left behind
• Any other surgical error or mistake which injures the patient
