When these types of mistakes happen, your life could be at risk. Even if that does not occur, you could be faced with complications from recovery.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
It is quite common for a patient who suffers an injury during a surgical procedure to have no knowledge of an error causing their complications. They may be told things like, “It happens sometimes,” or “We are not sure why this happened.” Yet, in any situation where you are left to wonder what happened and went wrong, it could be due to a preventable injury caused by medical malpractice.
Consider the following examples of common complications that result from surgical errors. If you suffered any of these conditions, it may be beneficial to take a closer look at the underlying cause of those complications with the help of our legal team. Do not write them off until you are sure they were not due to a surgical mistake.
Any time there are complications to a surgical procedure, find out why. Get the details, and if, for any reason, your doctor does not tell you what happened, turn to an attorney who will find out.
Doctors, nurses, and hospitals promise to provide quality care, but they only provide you with information about your procedure that they have, and if you do not ask, they will not tell you. If the following happened to you, they could be signs you need further help:
In situations like this, something is not right. Doctors and hospitals will not admit guilt and will have training that provides careful steps that providers must take to avoid incriminating themselves or the hospital when mistakes happen. The bottom line is if you feel something is not right, contact an attorney.
Our Lake Oswego surgical errors attorney will help you gather all available information in your case to build a better understanding of what your injuries and losses are. We find out the details by seeking medical experts, forcing the recovery of evidence, and holding doctors and hospitals accountable. Let our attorneys help you find out what went wrong.
Surgical errors are complex, requiring a legal team that understands medical procedures and policies well enough to protect your rights. In these situations, it becomes critical for our legal team to gather medical evidence, speak to witnesses, and utilize our medical experts to build your case. Some of the ways we help you include:
Surgery errors happen because of recklessness, distraction, and simply because doctors are tired. None of that makes this easier for you. With the help of our trusted legal team, we can ensure you receive the compensation you need to recover.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
Surgical errors can create significant losses for victims. Some examples include:
Our objective is to help you recover all damages, including financial damage, as well as the physical support you need to heal and the emotional stability you deserve. There is no simple path forward because medical malpractice claims have some of the most intense insurance teams out there working against victims. The good news is we are here to help you.
