New York Medical Malpractice Law Firm
We trust our doctors with our lives. When they make mistakes, our lives are often altered forever. Surgery mistakes by doctors, nurses, surgeons and other medical personnel can result in life-threatening consequences and life-altering injuries, as well as a devastating loss for the next of kin of surgical error victims. Even when the hospital does not report the error, you can hold the negligent parties accountable. We can be your advocate for Civil Justice. If your loved one died because of a surgical mistake, or if you have a life-changing disability caused by a surgical error, call Oliveri & Schwartz, P.C. at 718-775-3623 or 888-671-2994.
We can advise you about your rights regarding surgical errors, including:
- Anesthesia errors — Administering the wrong dosage or the wrong anesthesia.
- The wrong surgery — Amputating the wrong foot or removing the wrong breast.
- Foreign objects or surgical instruments left in a body — The surgical team may leave behind a sponge or fail to effectively close a surgical opening.
- Infections caused by negligence in surgery or postoperative recovery — Failing to properly close and treat a surgical wound can cause life-threatening infections. The Centers for Disease Control has reported that 99,000 people die annually from hospital-acquired infections.
- Improper technique — Cutting into a nearby artery or organ by mistake.
- Implantation of the wrong medical device — Inserting the wrong size rod or medical device in the body.
- Surgeon negligence — The surgeon may have impaired capacity due to lack of sleep or use of illicit drugs.
Not all injuries are a result of surgical malpractice. However, if you suspect injuries resulted from a medical mistake, it is important to contact an attorney experienced at investigating and litigating surgical errors. At Oliveri & Schwartz, P.C., we work with experienced medical experts who help us properly evaluate your case and determine whether negligence was responsible for your injuries. We will pursue maximum compensation on your behalf, including medical expenses, lost work time, and pain and suffering.
