Common Surgical Error Cases We Handle
Understanding your case
A surgical error generally involves a preventable mistake during a procedure that falls below the accepted standard of surgical care, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving an instrument inside a patient.
These cases typically require a qualified surgical expert to explain what the standard procedure should have involved and how the actual surgery deviated from it.
As a category of medical malpractice, surgical error claims are subject to Florida’s pre-suit notice and expert affidavit requirements before a lawsuit may be filed.
Depending on the severity of the harm, damages may include additional medical and corrective treatment costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses recognized under Florida law.
