What is a surgical error, and what compensation can I expect to receive for my claim?
A surgical error is a mistake that has occurred as a result of someone else’s negligence during surgery or a medical procedure. You may be able to claim compensation for a surgical mistake if you have suffered from physical, psychological or financial harm as a result of the malpractice of the provider.
In order to have a successful surgeon negligence claim, there are a number of things you’ll need to prove. The best way to determine whether you have a solid case or not is to contact a professional surgical error lawyer like the ones at LHD Lawyers.
What are the most common types of surgical errors?
The most common types of surgical errors include:
- Misinformation about whether you were an appropriate candidate for the surgery
- The surgery not being performed with reasonable care or skill
- The medical professional not providing you with adequate and proper post-surgical care
- You (the patient) not being properly informed of potential risks or complications
