Chicago Surgical Error Lawyers
Surgical Errors
It is difficult to imagine being in a more vulnerable situation than when we undergo surgery. As patients, we are placing our health, well-being, and very lives into the hands of medical professionals. Tragically, this trust is sometimes misplaced. In 2003 alone, over 30,000 patients died of complications from surgical error.
Chicago surgical error attorneys Friedman & Bonebrake work on behalf of people who have been affected by the carelessness or incompetence of a surgeon. Call 312-466-8200 to learn more.
Types of Surgical Error
At the law offices of Chicago medical malpractice lawyers Friedman & Bonebrake, we are prepared to represent clients in a variety of surgical error cases, including:
The Cause of Surgical Error
The parties responsible for surgical errors have pointed to many excuses over the years: over-worked staff, poor communication, and simple human error, just to name a few. The bottom line is that hospitals and surgical staff are responsible for any injuries suffered as a result of their mistakes. When a patient is injured, it is because the hospital failed to develop a proper system of communication and double-checking, or the surgical staff failed to follow one.
Filing a Chicago Surgical Error Lawsuit
If you have been injured or lost a loved one to surgical error, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice suit. It is true that filing a lawsuit will not undo your terrible experience. It will, however, allow you to see justice done while winning compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and your pain and suffering.
