Charleston Post-Surgery Complications Lawyer

Generally, patients and their families understand that there are certain risks inherent in any surgical procedure. If they weren’t aware of those dangers originally, then they should learn about them through the discussions designed to enable informed consent. The prevailing assumption, however, is that those complications are not going to happen to you or your loved one, and instead are the misfortune of others.

Yet while some risks are inevitable, post-surgical complications that arise from surgical errors are not. When a surgeon or nurse fails to provide you with the post-surgical care that your condition mandates, the consequences can be grave.

If a doctor’s negligence has led to health problems or caused any persistent pain, contact the Charleston post-surgery complications lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm at 843-720-2800. We can help you to hold them accountable for their misdeeds.

Common Post-Surgical Complications

There are as many different post-surgical complications as there are surgical procedures, if not more. Some of them are comparatively minor and likely to disappear quickly, but others are of greater gravity and can permanently alter the course of one’s life. None of them, however, are acceptable if they result from poor post-surgical care and are not simply a possible byproduct of a textbook procedure executed flawlessly. Some examples of potentially deadly post-surgical complications include:

• Infection
• Hemorrhage / excessive blood loss
• Sepsis
• Dehydration / malnutrition
• Improper distribution of medication
