Surgical Errors

Surgical Malpractice Lawyers – New Haven, Connecticut

At Jacobs, Grudberg, Belt, Dow & Katz P.C., our New Haven surgical malpractice lawyers represent clients in all types of medical and surgical malpractice. However, we are experienced in abdominal surgical malpractice cases.

If you or a loved one was injured as a result of a surgical error, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries, pain and suffering, lost work time, and medical expenses. Contact a Connecticut surgical error attorney at our firm today for high quality representation in cases of abdominal surgical malpractice.

When you undergo abdominal surgery, whether it is an appendectomy, gall bladder surgery, gastric bi-pass surgery, or any other procedure, you put your life in the hands of your surgeon and the other members of the medical team. In the vast majority of cases, that trust is well placed.

However, operating room errors do happen. Patients are given the wrong medication or not enough anesthesia. Surgeons perform the wrong procedure or leave surgical sponges or instruments inside the patient. Sometimes a medical error occurs after the surgical procedure, when a post-surgical infection sets in or a complication goes unnoticed.

If you have been injured or a loved one suffered a wrongful death by hospital malpractice, please contact a New Haven surgical malpractice lawyer at Jacobs, Grudberg, Belt, Dow & Katz P.C. for a free consultation and case evaluation.
