Surgical Malpractice
Lawyers, doctors, accountants and other highly skilled professionals typically receive greater compensation for their services than non-skilled workers ordinarily receive. Yet, with greater reward comes greater responsibility and even greater risk. Our courts recognize this and they hold professionals to a higher standard of care than non-professionals. Greater risk, balanced by greater reward, that's how it's supposed to be.
Because our firm routinely represents children, we have been involved in many surgical malpractice matters, especially pediatric surgery. Some of these matters have included:
- An infant lumbar puncture (spinal tap) causing brain herniation;
- Pediatric surgery involving nerve damage leading to permanent loss of arm and shoulder function;
- Infant hernia repair surgery leading to damaged reproductive capacity and prolonged infection;
Surgeons have a specialized duty of care, and when they undertake an operation on children, that responsibility is at its highest. Because of the unique anatomy of children, they are able to usually rebound from the trauma of surgery rather quickly. When they do not, it could be because the surgeon failed to perform the surgery within the standard of care.
