Surgical errors can lead to devastating injuries for patients. Sometimes, surgical mistakes lead to fatalities. Surgeons, doctors, nurses, and surgical technicians are all responsible for the safety of a patient during a surgical procedure. Unfortunately, there are times when preventable surgical errors occur. At Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC, we are here to help when you need a Charlotte surgical error attorney. If you or a loved one have been injured due to the actions of a surgeon or another medical professional, we are ready to conduct a complete investigation into your case and secure the compensation you are entitled to.

How Do Charlotte Surgical Errors Occur?

Did your surgery in North Carolina or South Carolina go seriously wrong, as in the following situations? Whether your surgery was planned or took place on an emergency basis, we welcome the opportunity to evaluate your case.

• Your surgical team omitted or ignored an important step in pre-surgery preparations: blood work, medical history, drug reactions.
• A surgeon operated on the wrong body part — perhaps removing the wrong breast or kidney, for example.
• Your surgeon or other health care providers failed to monitor you during the postsurgery period and you developed infections or other complications.
• The surgeon left a foreign object (such as a sponge, knife, or clamp) in your body, leading to pain, infection, and/or follow-up surgery to remove it.
• Your bowels, gall bladder, or another internal organ was punctured as the surgeon worked on an affected body part nearby.
• The surgeon failed to administer appropriate prophylactic antibiotics before or during surgery, resulting in infections that could have been prevented.
• You were given the wrong dosage of anesthesia, resulting in serious harm or unnecessary pain.
• Stitches were done incorrectly, creating painful adhesions, and requiring additional corrective medical care.
• Respiratory intubation or placement of feeding tubes was done incorrectly, resulting in serious harm.
