Surgical Errors

Surgical Error Claims

No surgical error is a small one. You may have seen horror stories about surgeons who amputate the wrong limb or remove the wrong body part on the evening news. While your case may not be that extreme, any injury resulting from surgical negligence requires immediate legal action.

At Corsiglia, McMahon & Allard, LLP, our experienced legal team is dedicated to recovering the compensation you deserve for your surgical error claim. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a surgical error, please contact a lawyer for a free case evaluation.

Medical mistakes classified as "surgical errors" do not only occur during surgery. Surgical errors can also occur during diagnostic tests, preparation for surgery, and as a result of post-surgical complications.

Common surgical errors include:

• Performing unnecessary surgery as a result of a misdiagnosis
• Cutting in the wrong location or on the wrong side of the body
• Leaving surgical instruments inside the patient
• Performing surgery on the wrong patient
• Administering anesthesia improperly

Surgical errors may occur because surgeons are overworked or inexperienced, or because of poor communication between the surgical team and other health professionals. No matter the cause, we are dedicated to holding the responsible parties liable. Once we have determined that you have a viable medical malpractice claim, our lawyers will work hard to secure the results you and your family deserve.
