Handling Surgical Error Cases in Texas and Beyond
Entering the hospital for routine surgery is an everyday event for most people. They expect everything to go well. Unfortunately, that does not always happen. It's important to know that when the negligence of one of the surgical team or the hospital results in illness, injury or death, you do have recourse.

Causes and defendants in surgical error cases
We have obtained compensation for clients' medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering. We have brought surgical error claims against military and civilian surgeons, hospital staff and anesthesiologists.
These cases have involved errors and negligence such as:
- Operating on the wrong body part or at the wrong site
- Unnecessary surgery
- Having untrained surgeons or interns conducting operations without adequate supervision
- Having non-specialist surgeons conduct highly specialized surgery
- Failing to follow hospital protocols
- Failure to retrieve a foreign body, such as a sponge, gauze or instrument from the surgical incision
- Abandonment of patient
- Failing to identify allergy to anesthesia before administration
The case evaluation process
Our lawyer evaluates each potential case thoroughly. Our first step is to conduct an initial interview with the client and our knowledgeable and experienced office staff. We next gather, sort and collate the medical records. We then send the medical records to a nurse-attorney, who prepares a review and summary of the medical records. We then identify the right surgical specialists and experts who review the medical records and the nurse-attorney's report. Based on input from all these sources, we will decide whether there is a surgical error case.
If we decide that the case is not winnable or that there are other problems, we tell you honestly. Moreover, you owe us nothing for the preliminary work performed by out staff and outside experts if we do not move forward with your claim.
If you have been injured or a loved one killed because of a surgical error, we can help. Contact us to learn how we put our years of experience to work for you.
