Charleston Improper Suturing Lawyer

It would seem that in the context of a surgical procedure or the treatment of a wound sustained in an accident, the least dangerous element would be the stitches and the act of stitching. But even this apparently innocuous part of the process can cause lasting harm if a doctor makes a surgical error while suturing (sewing) an incision or a flesh wound. You may be entitled to pursue legal action seeking financial compensation for any additional medical costs, pain, and suffering that were incurred by a doctor’s malpractice.

If stitches gone wrong or improperly executed have affected you, contact the Charleston improper suturing lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm at 843-720-2800.

The Effects of Errant Suturing

In the event of an injury, stitches are often required to perform one of two vital tasks. They must either hold flesh together so that it can heal properly, or they are needed because they offer the only effective means to stop bleeding or to close and cover the interior. When a doctor makes an error either with improper technique, damaged materials, or an accidental motion, the consequences can be severe and include the following:

• Loss of excessive blood
• Dangerous infections
• Disabling or embarrassing scar tissue
