Surgical errors can range from operating on the wrong body part to leaving surgical instruments inside a patient. These mistakes are not only negligent but can have life-altering consequences for the victim. As your surgical error lawyer, MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers meticulously investigates your case, consulting medical experts and reviewing medical records to build a compelling claim on your behalf.
In Florida, victims of surgical errors have a limited window to pursue legal action, known as the statute of limitations. Typically, you have two years from the date you discovered (or should have reasonably discovered) the injury to file a lawsuit. However, navigating these legal waters requires expertise and precision, making it crucial to consult with a knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible.
What Should I Do If I'm a Victim of a Surgical Error?
First, seek immediate medical attention to address any complications. Then, document everything related to your case, including medical records, expenses, and any communications with healthcare providers. Finally, contact MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers for a consultation to discuss your legal options.
How Do You Prove a Surgical Error Occurred?
Proving a surgical error involves demonstrating that the healthcare provider breached the standard of care expected in the medical community, directly causing your injury. Our team works with medical experts to establish this link and advocate for your rights.
