Surgery is a serious matter. When you go into the hospital for a surgical procedure, you believe that once the operation is complete, you can go home and all will be well. Unfortunately, this may not be the case. Sometimes you leave the operating room, and something goes wrong. Post-operative complications are more common than people realize, and they can lead to life-altering conditions.
Duffy & Duffy has the Bronx post-operation complication lawyer you need to recover from the effects of post-hospitalization negligence. If you or a loved one was injured because of the hospital staff’s careless behavior, you have the right to seek compensation for the additional medical costs and pain their negligence has caused, and our surgical error attorneys are here to help.
During an operation, doctors, nurses, and surgical teams must use a wide range of instruments and systems to keep you alive and safe. After surgery, they must monitor you for any change in your condition. If anything goes wrong in these systems, you can suffer dangerous, possibly life-threatening complications. These can include:
If your doctors do not recognize and treat these issues immediately, they can become life-threatening and lead to re-hospitalization or another serious outcome. Our attorneys in the Bronx could help you determine if hospital staff negligence contributed to your post-operation complication.
Proving that your illness or relapse was due to the operation itself or to lack of post-operative treatment can require showing that the hospital or healthcare provider failed in their duty of care. When our Bronx medical malpractice attorneys assist in your case, we gather the evidence necessary to show what was lacking in your care that may have contributed to your injury or illness after a surgery.
An attorney could obtain medical records showing what occurred during the operation, such as whether all surgical items were accounted for and whether the anesthesiologist monitored your respiration and blood pressure. Certain types of infection may be more or less likely after surgery, and expert testimony could be necessary to establish your claim.
This information can demonstrate whether the medical provider was negligent and your injuries were the result of that negligence.
If you were injured or your illness became worse after surgery, you can request economic and non-economic damages, including:
Our attorneys are here to explain what you must show to prove these damages in court.
Doctors must follow the accepted standard of practice in their specialty. They must also ensure that all their staff follow the same standards. In a post-operation complication case, our Bronx attorneys demonstrate what that standard is and how the care you received deviated from it. We also explain how the deviation caused additional physical and emotional harm in your case.
Proving negligence or medical malpractice requires showing that the doctor owed you a duty of care. An attorney with Duffy & Duffy is here to explain this duty of care and what is needed to overcome it in court.
