Weitz & Luxenberg Law Firm Can Help You Heal the Scars Left By Surgical Errors

When Things Go Wrong

When Tom, a singer-songwriter from New Jersey, went in for a routine surgery on his vocal chords, he never expected that he would be leaving the hospital unable to sing the way he used to ever again. Tom occasionally experiences vocal cord nodules and will simply go in for surgery to get them removed. Unfortunately, on this day, the surgeon made a mistake and scarred Tom’s vocal cords permanently. This is a prime example of when Weitz & Luxenberg can get compensation on the grounds of medical malpractice. Weitz & Luxenberg has experience in all kinds of different instances of surgical errors. We can guide you through this process swiftly and safely.

Kinds of Surgical Errors

There are several different kinds of surgical errors. One kind is when a surgeon either performs an unnecessary surgery or operates on the wrong body part entirely. This is a form of medical malpractice called “Commission.” I know it sounds farfetched, but these cases happen all the time. The opposite of this is called, “Omission,” which is where a surgical team neglects to provide the proper treatment. Finally, when a procedure is not properly executed, this is called, “Execution”. All of these are equally atrocious and must be rectified.
