Surgical Errors & Operating Room Negligence

Surgical errors can have life-altering consequences. From wrong-site surgery to retained surgical instruments, our attorneys hold negligent surgeons accountable.

Understanding Surgical Cases

Surgery carries inherent risks, but many surgical complications are not the result of unavoidable risk—they're caused by preventable errors and negligence. When a surgeon, anesthesiologist, or surgical team fails to meet the standard of care, patients can suffer devastating, permanent injuries.

Surgical errors include a wide range of mistakes that occur before, during, or after surgery. These errors can happen in any type of surgery, from routine procedures to complex operations. While some errors are immediately apparent, others may not be discovered until days, weeks, or even months later.

At The Juris Law Firm, we have successfully represented victims of surgical malpractice across the country. Our attorneys understand the complexities of surgical procedures and work with medical experts to prove exactly where the standard of care was breached.
