British Columbia Medical Malpractice Representation
A surgical team has a responsibility to the patient who is undergoing surgery. The anaesthesiologists are responsible for properly administering anaesthesia and monitoring the patient during the surgery. The surgeon must conduct the surgery properly. The operating room nurses need to provide competent assistance throughout the procedure. Unfortunately, preventable errors during surgery can cause significant harm to patients.
At Pacific Medical Law, our lawyers have represented individuals and families impacted by surgical mistakes. We are recognized by our clients and our legal peers for our skill and extensive experience handling complex litigation related to negligent surgical practise. The damage caused by a surgical error is often significant, and we work to help our clients recover the compensation they deserve.
Vancouver Surgical Error Lawyers
Pacific Medical Law has represented clients who have suffered an injury or lost a loved one due to surgical errors. Examples of surgical errors include:
- Anaesthesia errors
- Radiology and X-ray errors
- Neurological damage
- Infections
- Pre-surgical errors
- Post-surgical care errors
- Surgery on wrong organ or body part
- Equipment left in body
Surgical errors are not always immediately obvious, and even when they are, relating them to doctor error is rarely easy. Mistakes happen — not all surgical injuries are the result of negligence. But it is important to hold medical professionals accountable when they have failed to follow acceptable standards of treatment, and that failure has led to a serious injury or death.
