The hours and days following a surgical procedure are just as critical as the surgery itself. It’s imperative that hospitals, doctors, and nurses monitor patients for signs of infection and other serious complications, such as blood clots, respiratory distress, and bleeding.
The postoperative error lawyers at LawMD have helped thousands of patients who have suffered postoperative complications due to a doctor’s negligence.
We handle all types of postoperative negligence cases, including:
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Pneumonia and related complications
- Hemorrhage
- Sepsis
- Wound dehiscence
- Incisional hernia
- Hospital-acquired infections
- Keloids
- Paralytic ileus
We have also helped people who have required a second surgery or other procedures to correct health conditions that developed due to a lack of adequate care following an initial operation.
Because many of our lawyers have backgrounds in medicine, we know how frustrating it is for a patient to experience complications following a surgery. In many cases, patients don’t get the help they need, either because doctors explain their symptoms or simply ignore their concerns. If you have been brushed off or told it’s all in your head, we can fight for justice on your behalf. Postoperative negligence is something no one should ever have to endure.
