Surgical Malpractice Lawyers

in Denver and throughout Colorado and Wyoming

Many estimates show that up to 50% of medical malpractice cases in the US are a result of errors during surgery.

All surgery entails some risk, and there are no guarantees that a surgical procedure will be entirely successful. However, in many cases, surgical patients are injured as a result of surgeon incompetence or other negligence. In these cases, the injured patient or his or her loved ones may have a case for malpractice.

Some examples of common surgical errors include:

  • Surgeons leaving tools or equipment inside the patient
  • Brain damage, due to trauma or improper sedation
  • Paralysis
  • Perforation of organs
  • Procedures performed on the wrong patient
  • Incorrect surgical procedures performed on patients
  • Sepsis as a result of poor operating room hygiene

Depending on the type and extent of the error, patients can be left with excessive medical bills, extended and sometimes painful treatments, inability to work, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Unfortunately for patients who have suffered damages as a result of operating room error, medical professionals will occasionally add insult to injury by attempting to cover up the evidence of the error, leaving the patient and his or her loved ones with little recourse to have the error corrected or receive compensation for the damages they have suffered.
