Surgical Error Lawyer in Monroe

Specifically, some of the most common causes of surgical errors include:

• Poor communication between individuals/departments
• Deviation from or absence of standardized procedures/rules
• Insufficient training and/or education
• Distractions in the operating room
• Staffing issues, including understaffing leading to rushed procedures
• Improper preparation prior to surgery
• Lack of adequate imaging equipment
• Multiple surgeons performing a single procedure

To bring a medical malpractice lawsuit, you will need to prove that the surgeon or another person/party deviated from the standard of acceptable care. It’s important that you work with a knowledgeable attorney who can investigate your case and build supporting evidence on your behalf.

Can You Sue for a Failed Surgery?

A poor outcome does not necessarily indicate medical negligence. In other words, just because a surgery is not successful, this does not automatically mean that you are a victim of medical malpractice. Rather, to file a lawsuit after an unsuccessful surgery, you will have to do more than prove the surgery failed—you will have to prove that a medical provider’s substandard care caused your injuries and/or damages.

A successful surgical error lawsuit depends on proving the following elements:

• A doctor-patient relationship existed
• The doctor failed to provide the accepted standard of care
• You or your loved one was injured
• The doctor’s substandard care was the cause of your injuries/damages

Proving these elements often requires the expert testimony of medical professionals and other witnesses. At Parker Alexander, we work with a team of specialists to build our clients’ cases and draw on our decades of experience and success in this area of law.
