Approximately 30 million Americans undergo surgery each year in the United States. Unfortunately in up to 3,000 cases per year, surgeons operate on the wrong organ or limb, the wrong side of the patient’s body or the wrong portion of the patient’s spine. Though it is relatively rare, wrong-site surgery can have devastating consequences. Quite simply, operating on the wrong site - and the similar mistakes of performing the wrong procedure and operating on the wrong patient - are unacceptable errors.

If you or a loved one has suffered injury arising from wrong-site, wrong-procedure or wrong-person surgery, it is crucial to consult with a medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible. Our experienced personal injury lawyers can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, financial loss, emotional distress and past, current and future medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing. Our dedicated trial lawyers can also help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. The insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a medical malpractice attorney who will work just as hard for you.
