Wilmington Surgical Errors Attorney

Many complications that stem from surgery are typical and fall under the category of assumption of risk. However, surgical complications may be caused by medical errors. Physician error and negligence can result in complications in almost any type of surgery.

At the Delaware law firm of Murphy & Landon, we have extensive experience handling many different types of medical malpractice cases, including surgical errors. These types of errors can leave a patient with even more severe injuries than when he or she entered the hospital. Regardless, the negligent parties should be held responsible for their actions or inaction. We help clients gather information in order to put together a personal injury lawsuit on their behalf, alleging the surgeon's mistake or other surgical error.

Surgical errors may range from minor to serious, even causing death. Even the simplest of cosmetic surgical procedures may result in a surgical error. Some examples of surgical errors include:

• Operating on the wrong area of the body
• Performing the wrong surgery
• Performing the surgery on the wrong patient
• Leaving items inside the patient during surgery
• Organ puncture or perforation

Surgeons, doctors and nurses can also be held responsible if injuries occur after surgery from someone's failure to monitor the patient.
