Surgical Injury

The Law Offices of David D. Diamond

A surgical injury is a type of injury that occurs while a person is having a surgical procedure.  These types of injuries usually occur when surgeons act negligently or fail to operate with a standard degree of care that is expected by the medical community.  Common types of surgical errors include:  operating on the wrong body part, operating on the wrong side of the body, using defective medical devices, anesthesia errors, using inappropriate instruments, leaving medical instruments in the patient’s body and operating on the wrong patient. 

When people have surgical procedures, there is always an inherent element of risk as people will have to be sedated and go “under the knife”.  Additionally, every surgical procedure involves several different types of medical professionals, including surgeons, assistant nurses, anesthesiologists, specialists and hospital staff.  At any time during a surgery, one of the attending medical professionals may make a mistake that causes the patient great injury or in some cases, death.
