Surgery Errors

Over 100 Years of Collective Experience On Your Side.

Michigan Surgery Error Lawyers

When you visit the hospital for a surgical procedure, it can be extremely overwhelming. In effect, you are trusting your body, future, and life to someone else and hoping that their knowledge of the human body will help you recover from a serious condition or injury. Although most surgeons are highly capable, trained professionals with a passion for helping patients, surgeons and surgical team members are still human – and they can make life-altering mistakes.

While positive outcomes are never guaranteed during a high-risk or untested surgical procedure, surgeons still have a basic responsibility to uphold the standard of care with their patients. From horrifying wrong-site surgeries to painful anesthesia errors, these surgical mistakes may take a heavy toll on both your peace of mind and your physical wellbeing.

If you or a loved one has been affected by a wrong-site surgery or another surgical mistake, you will likely need the help of an experienced attorney to hold the doctor accountable. Grewal Law PLLC has been helping victims of medical malpractice for decades. Our surgery error lawyers in Michigan can help you navigate the legal process and fight for the justice and compensation you are owed.

Examples of Surgical Errors

Like any medical procedure, there are a wide range of errors and mistakes that can occur during surgery, many of which are caused by practitioner negligence. Perhaps the most horrifying surgical error is the wrong-site surgery, where the doctor operates on healthy tissue rather than the site requiring attention. This problem seems easily avoidable, yet wrong-site surgeries happen all the time.

While wrong-site surgery is one of the most distressing types of surgical errors, it is not the only mistake that can occur. In fact, there are many different errors a surgeon or attending nurses and techs can make, all of which can have devastating, far-reaching impacts on your life.

Examples of relatively common surgical errors include:

Foreign objects/instruments left in the body
Wrong-site surgery
Wrong-patient surgery
Wrong procedure
Nerve damage
Issues with anesthesia

While surgical mistakes are relatively rare, it’s estimated that there are over 4,000 preventable surgery errors in the U.S. every year. Most hospitals are required to classify these as “never events”; in other words, they should never happen. The only reason these types of errors occur is because of medical negligence.
