Fighting for Maximum Compensation for Surgical Error Medical Malpractice Victims
It has been reported that 98,000 people die annually due to hospital errors. In the case of surgical errors, poor pre-operative planning, lack of proper sterilization, surgeon negligence and wrong-site surgery are often to blame. Surgeons can make serious mistakes in all types of surgery, including organ transplants, LASIK eye surgery, gastric bypass, orthopedic surgery, spinal surgery and routine gallbladder removal. Dentists make mistakes too. Typically the medical service providers, as well as the hospital or other institution where the medical services are performed, and dentists, carry substantial policies of insurance. We all know that insurance companies are never to be trusted; their goal is always to pay out the least amount possible, regardless of who is hurt and why. That is why you need the surgical error medical malpractice law team at Percy, Tedeschi & Associates, P.C., on your side.

Focused on You, Your Case and Your Results
Don't let a doctor or hospital tell you that your medical complications or injuries are the result of inherent risks associated with the surgical procedure performed on you. Demand answers and accountability. Our medical malpractice lawyers expose negligence on the part of surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, and orderlies in cases involving surgical errors. We review operating room (OR) video footage when available, the patient's vital signs charting, medical records, communications between doctors and staff, as well as a doctor's schedule and work history. We look for signs of surgeon fatigue, miscommunication, deviations from standard treatment protocols, and errors in judgment or technique that can constitute medical malpractice. Contact our attorneys to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.

The Cost of a Surgical Error
Surgical errors often result in serious medical complications that lead to disfigurement, organ failure, infections, and even death. Our attorneys consult medical economists and life care planners in determining the financial impact of a surgical error on our client. We take into account the cost of additional surgery that is often needed to correct surgical mistakes as well as the costs of hospitalization, medication, and lost wages. In addition to compensation for financial losses, we seek compensation for the physical and emotional losses caused by medical malpractice, such as permanent disability, pain, suffering and emotional distress. When gross negligence is evident, we may seek punitive damages as well.
Anesthesia Errors
We represent the victims of anesthesia errors resulting in permanent brain damage or death. While the use of anesthesia is usually safe, improper administration, monitoring and other anesthesia mistakes can have life-changing consequences.
