You may have arrived at this Web page because you or a loved one suffered harm during or after surgery. It is a good thing to be asking questions and to talk to a lawyer if you suspect wrongdoing by a surgeon or any member of a surgical team. Contact the Law Offices of Roy S. Hiller to schedule a free consultation.
Some types of surgical errors are obvious: A wrong body part was operated on, or a foreign object was left in the body. Other surgical errors are more subtle such as damage to nerves or failure to give proper follow-up care. Confirming that a surgeon made a mistake is likely to require extensive investigation by experts in the field. Discuss your concerns with an experienced New York surgical error lawyer. Get advice on how to discover whether you have a legitimate medical malpractice claim.
You may know or suspect that a surgical error took place if any of the following occurred:
Wrong body part was operated on: Was the wrong breast, kidney, arm or leg operated on?
Foreign object was left in body: Did the doctor leave a scalpel or sponge inside your body, leading to pain, infection and/or a need for repeat surgery?
Anesthesia error: Was intubation done incorrectly or were excessive quantities of anesthesia drugs administered, resulting in hypoxic brain injury?
Complications ignored: Was bleeding in a punctured nearby organ ignored during surgery, resulting in fatal or near-fatal complications after surgery?
Needed surgery not performed: Did your symptoms indicate the need for surgery — such as an appendectomy — which was not done on time, or at all?
Unnecessary surgery performed: Were you encouraged to get surgery that you did not need, only to experience life-threatening complications from the operation?
The Law Offices of Roy S. Hiller is ready to advise and direct you as you seek to uncover the truth and seek a remedy, including compensation for additional medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
