Seeking Compensation for Negligence in the Operating Room
Surgery is an invasive medical procedure that must be performed carefully in order to protect patients from harm. While there is no such thing as risk-free surgery, there are procedures that doctors and hospitals are expected to follow in order to reduce the risks of surgery.
I am Irwin E. Weiss, a Baltimore surgical error attorney serving clients throughout Maryland since 1978. I have extensive experience helping patients and their families pursue medical malpractice claims for surgical negligence such as, but not limited to, the following:
- Injuries to adjacent structures: Any surgery involves some risk of damage to other organs, but doctors have a responsibility to recognize and repair any damage they cause.
- Wrong site surgery: Amputating the wrong limb, removing the wrong organ or otherwise operating on the wrong site is a serious and inexcusable medical error.
- Retained foreign bodies: Hospitals are supposed to have diligent checks in place to ensure that sponges, scissors and other instruments are not left inside patients' bodies.
- Anesthesia errors: Anesthesia is a potent and dangerous type of medication, and its use must be carefully monitored to protect surgical patients from harm.
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one due to surgical negligence, you need a lawyer who is prepared to diligently pursue the compensation you deserve. I have a proven track record in these cases and am dedicated to seeking maximum results for my clients.
