Seeking Compensation for the Consequences of Malpractice
Medical malpractice attorney Charles Rock comes from a family of doctors and understands the responsibilities that physicians and other medical professionals have toward their patients. We pursue claims against parties who have failed to live up to those responsibilities in circumstances such as the following:
- Laparoscopic surgery : While laparoscopic surgery can reduce many of the risks and recovery periods associated with more invasive types of surgery, it takes experience and attention for doctors to perform it properly.
- Gall bladder surgery : Gall bladder surgery is among the most common elective surgeries performed in hospitals, but there are still serious risks associated with it that many people are unaware of.
- Wrong site surgery : Hospitals and doctors are expected to follow rigorous procedures to ensure that no patient is ever operated on at the wrong location. Unfortunately, some cases of wrong site surgery still take place.
- Orthopedic surgery: Orthopedic surgeons can be held accountable when they fail to follow proper procedures for setting bones or fail to identify and treat cases of compartment syndrome, a serious surgical complication.
- Leaving instruments in patients: Every institution that performs surgery must follow careful procedures in order to make sure surgical instruments and pads are not left inside patients' bodies.
If you have been injured during surgery or have lost a loved one due to what you believe was surgical malpractice, you may have a very limited amount of time to bring a claim. Don't hesitate to contact our medical malpractice lawyer to discuss your case.
