Surgical Errors

When Mistakes Happen During Surgery

Just because a surgery requires a high degree of skill does not mean that mistakes are acceptable. When a surgeon causes injury and deprives you of your health — even if you believe he or she may have done the best job possible under the circumstances — the possibility of medical malpractice should not be ignored.

By contacting an attorney about your situation, you can gain valuable insight into whether or not medical malpractice was to blame. At Friedman, Domiano & Smith, our attorneys can review all the medical records involved. We can also interview expert witnesses and investigate surgeons' malpractice records. Whether or not you decide to take legal action, our work can give you peace of mind regarding a surgical error.

Types of Surgical Error

At Friedman, Domiano & Smith, we represent clients who have sustained injuries to bowel, bladder, kidneys and other vital organs as a result of surgical error. We also represent people who have been left with objects inside the body cavity after a surgery, or have been required to undergo surgery they later found was unnecessary. To learn more about our surgical error practice, please follow the links below:

Retained objects
Unnecessary surgery
Post-operative complications
Hospital-acquired infections
Blood product errors
Medication errors (including anesthesia errors)

When doctor commit these surgical errors, a medical malpractice lawsuit is usually necessary to recover compensation for one's injuries. In order to be successful in court, injured patients and their lawyers must prove that the doctors failed to use the same degree of skill and learning (the same "standard of care") that is used by other, similar surgeons in similar circumstances.

This can be a difficult task. Attorneys handling these surgical error cases must review extensive medical documents, and consult with medical professionals who will agree to testify in Ohio courts. And they must make compelling legal arguments that persuade judges and jurors. At Friedman, Domiano & Smith, we are up to the task. We use years of experience to help our clients achieve the best possible results.
