Charleston Surgical Error Attorneys

Most people feel some level of anxiety before undergoing a surgical procedure. This is perfectly understandable: allowing one’s self to be operated on puts one in a very vulnerable position. The good news is that the majority of surgeons are highly trained professionals who perform their jobs well. The bad news is that overworked staff and poor hospital organization do occasionally lead to serious injuries.

The Charleston surgical error injury lawyers at the Steinberg Law Firm believe in holding medical professionals to a high standard. When one of our clients is injured by negligent or reckless surgical staff, we will work tirelessly to hold the guilty parties responsible. This may include the surgeon who committed the error, his or her assistants, and/or the hospital where they are employed.

Types of Surgical Error

Our Charleston personal injury lawyers are prepared to represent victims of a variety of surgical errors, including:

• Wrong Site Surgery
• Incorrect Procedure
• Mishandling Surgical Instruments
• Foreign Objects in Body
• Surgery on Wrong Patient
• Improper Suturing
• Post-Surgical Complications

How We Can Help

If a surgeon or his or her assistants commit a harmful error during a surgical procedure, this is generally grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. If a lawsuit is successful, the injured party can receive compensation for medical expenses, missed wages, and pain and suffering. However, winning a suit is not easy.

Our experienced attorneys will help you understand the legal process, gather the evidence you need to support your case, and argue aggressively for your rights in court. If you are not sure if you have a strong case, an initial consultation would be an excellent opportunity to discuss your options.
