Despite dramatic improvements in modern medicine, every surgery carries with it a certain amount of risk. Even the most routine procedures can sometimes lead to unanticipated complications or undesirable results, despite the diligence, experience, and best efforts of a skilled surgeon. There are, however, cases in which medical negligence - the failure to use ordinary care - causes preventable surgical errors resulting in injury to or even death of a patient. When this happens, the victim and his or her loved ones have the right to hold the attending medical staff accountable for the injuries they caused by failing to use ordinary care.

Because of the inherent risks in any surgical procedure, it is clear that not all bad results arise from medical negligence. However, any harm caused by the failure to use normal, ordinary care during a surgery does obligate medical professionals to compensate injured patients for the permanent injuries caused, including the unnecessary physical and emotional pain they have suffered. Victims in the Atlanta, Georgia, area often seek the assistance of our medical malpractice lawyers because we have handled so many of these cases and are extremely familiar with the intricacies of surgical error lawsuits. Some of the common types of surgical mistakes we’ve seen include:
In the state of Georgia, patients and their families have two years from the time of the malpractice injury or wrongful death to file a claim. An exception to this statute of limitations applies to victims who have had a surgical instrument left inside their bodies. In such cases, the patient has one year to file suit from the time they discover the retained object. Our medical malpractice lawyers can help malpractice victims from Fulton County, Gwinnett County or anywhere in Metro Atlanta to build a solid legal case to ensure that their rights are fully protected.
