Surgical malpractice extends beyond the headline cases of wrong-site or wrong-patient procedures. It includes intraoperative injury to organs and structures, retained foreign bodies, anesthesia errors, deviations from accepted technique, and the failure to recognize and respond to complications in the post-operative period.

Building the case
Surgical cases depend on operative reports, imaging, anesthesia records, nursing notes, and expert review by surgeons in the relevant subspecialty. Preserving and analyzing this record is the foundation of every claim the firm pursues.
