How Do You Prove A Surgical Error Occurred?
Our Lawyers In Kansas City Pursue Medical Malpractice Cases On Behalf Of Victims In Missouri And Kansas
Operating room staff as well as surgeons have many opportunities to make surgical errors during all types of procedures. Even the smallest mistake or oversight can be devastating for the patient, leading to life-altering injuries and even death.
Surgeons and other hospital staff may tell you that a surgery is risky from the beginning and lead you to believe that you are signing your rights away by agreeing to the procedure. This is not true.
You should seek advice and a full understanding from a qualified medical malpractice attorney before giving in and accepting that nothing can be done. It is likely that you have legal options and that we can help you hold the surgeon and health care provider accountable for medical negligence.
