Medical/Surgical Errors

Medical errors can encompass a broad range of areas including a pharmacist who improperly fills a prescription or a nurse who gives a patient the wrong medicine. These are just two examples of medical errors. Surgical errors occur during an operation whereby someone is injured during the surgical procedure. This may result in an organ being damaged, such as a ureter or bile duct, during a gallbladder procedure; a sponge being left in a person after the completion of the surgery; an injury to a limb from improper positioning on the surgical table; These are just a few examples of possible injuries that can occur during surgery, which may be preventable.

If you are concerned that a medical or surgical error has occurred to you, you should consult an attorney immediately to investigate the matter, as there are strict time limitations for pursuing these types of cases.
