Understanding Surgical Error Malpractice Claims

Surgeries carry inherent risks, so not every complication constitutes medical malpractice. However, in Tennessee, a malpractice claim may be pursued when a healthcare provider (such as a surgeon) strays from the accepted standard of care, directly causing you harm. Surgical errors that often result in legal claims include:

  • Operating on the wrong site: Mistakes such as wrong-side surgeries
  • Leaving surgical instruments inside the body: A potentially dangerous oversight with brutal consequences
  • Errors during anesthesia administration: Such as improper dosages or failure to monitor vital signs
  • Unnecessary surgeries: Procedures that were avoidable or unwarranted
  • Ignoring post-surgical complications: Failure to treat infections, clots, or other issues promptly

If you or a loved one has suffered due to one of these errors, speaking with a medical malpractice lawyer can help you determine whether you have a case and how you can move toward your both emotional and financial recovery.
