Surgical negligence, also known as surgical malpractice, occurs when a healthcare professional or provider fails to provide the standard of care that a reasonable person in the same profession would provide under similar circumstances, resulting in harm to the patient during a surgical procedure. This negligence can arise from errors in technique, judgment, communication, or equipment malfunctions.
Client’s Case
A 75 year old man battling leukemia, underwent surgery to stop intestinal bleeding. A surgeon perforated his intestine causing sepsis and then death. First refusing to take responsibility, the surgeon capitulated after his deposition realizing that the defenses to the lawsuit were not as strong as his malpractice insurer first believed.
