Many patients sustain serious injuries and need support, physical, emotional and financial, for the remainder of their lives due to surgical medical malpractice. Families and survivors whose loved ones have died as a result of surgical medical malpractice have emotional and financial needs that have to be met as well.

Many instances of surgical medical malpractice occur as a result of poor post-operative care, including the failure to recognize a complication from the surgery itself. Surgeons are reluctant to admit surgical error until it is too late and the surgical error becomes a wrongful death.

A surgical procedure can cause life-saving healing or cause great harm if the surgeon does not provide a certain standard of knowledge and skill expected in the medical community. A poor surgical outcome caused by poor surgical care and treatment must be investigated and evaluated by an experienced surgical medical malpractice attorney to discover if you or a family member were the victims of surgical medical malpractice.

Surgical procedures commonly involved in surgical medical malpractice lawsuits are cosmetic surgical procedures such as face lifts and breast augmentations, LASIK eye surgery, gastric bypass surgery and back and orthopedic surgery.
