Any time a person decides to have surgery, they must consider the inherent risk-benefit analysis that goes along with it. However, when people think about what could go wrong during surgery, they often fail to consider one of the most critical parts of the equation — the surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses.

Hidden Dangers: Unveiling Surgical Errors and Medical Negligence

According to a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medical entitled, “The Safety of Inpatient Health Care,” an adverse event occurs in nearly 1 in 4 hospital admissions, and surgical errors account for 30.4% of those adverse events. Knowing that it is difficult in many cases to prove that a surgical error occurred while a patient is under general anesthesia, doctors and hospitals often conceal evidence of surgical errors to protect their own interests. The deep pockets of medical providers, medical facilities, and their associated insurance providers throw significant time and money into defending every alleged instance of medical negligence. Our San Antonio-based surgical error lawyer focuses exclusively on medical malpractice cases and knows how to defeat these difficult defendants and get justice for our clients. When you contact the Law Offices of Glenn W. Cunningham, you get the experience you want and can trust and the client-centric approach you deserve during this difficult time. We have over 30 years of experience handling Texas medical malpractice matters, and we are committed to holding doctors accountable for their negligent conduct.

Common Causes of Texas Surgical Errors

Even the smallest of surgical errors can impact a patient for the rest of his or her life, or be the cause of an otherwise avoidable death. The negligence of your surgeon may begin early in the treatment process during your preoperative care or anytime throughout the post-op treatment.

If surgical or anesthesiology malpractice left you or your loved one injured or dead, it is important to work with an experienced Texas surgical error attorney who can help you receive the compensation you need to feel better and make things right. We represent individuals who were injured by surgical mistakes, including:

Anesthesia errors
Failure to recognize post-surgical complications
Leaving medical devices or instruments in the body
Misplaced implants
Operating on the wrong body part
Paralysis after surgery
Unacceptable complications
Unnecessary surgery
Performing wrong procedure

There is always inherent risk when someone undergoes surgery. However, some mistakes can only be attributed to negligence. For example, if an anesthesiologist does not monitor the carbon dioxide and oxygen saturate levels of a patient, the results can quickly become fatal. Or if a surgeon cuts a nerve, nicks an organ, or severs an artery, then this negligence can cause a host of bodily injuries or death.

How Much is my Surgical Error Case Worth?

Wondering the value of your San Antonio surgical malpractice case? Do not make the mistake of relying on online settlement calculators or generic Google searches, which are seriously flawed. What occurred during your surgery, and the nature, character and extent of your injuries are case-specific and unique to you. Every case is different, and only a competent medical malpractice attorney can professionally evaluate the exact details of your case, in light of your medical history.

In general, the more serious, permanent, life-threatening, or life-ending the injuries are as a result of the surgical malpractice, the more your case is likely going to be worth. You cannot have your life and/or your health, and a viable and valuable medical malpractice case too. The two are mutually exclusive. The jury system in this country is designed to provide fair and reasonable compensation for the injury and death that medical malpractice has caused – not a windfall to patients that are not truly seriously injured. At the Law Offices of Glenn W. Cunningham, our docket is limited to medical malpractice cases involving wrongful death or catastrophic and permanent personal injury. If you or your loved one has a case that meets this criteria, the sooner you get in touch with us, the sooner we can put together a case that gets you the money you deserve. Some of the damages you can recover in a winning surgical error case include:

Past, current, and future medical bills
Medication expenses
Inability to work in the future
Missed work in the past
Disability care needs
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish, impairment, disfigurement, and much more
