Louisville Post-Surgical Complications Lawyers
Unfortunately, the risk of an injury or surgical complication doesn’t end when the surgery is completed, the surgeon closes the incision(s), and you are taken back to your room to recover. There are a number of complications that could occur following the surgery, especially if a surgeon, specialist, or nurse acts recklessly. While some of these complications are unavoidable and not due to action or inaction on the part of a medical professional, some are. These can interfere with the healing process and even put your life at risk.
There are risks with any operation, but they shouldn’t be because of a medical professional’s actions or failure to act. If you or someone you know has suffered a post-surgical complication, you may be able to hold the medical professional responsible for your losses, suffering, and expenses. Contact the Louisville post-surgical complications lawyers of the Sampson Law Firm today at 502-584-5050 and learn about your legal rights and options.
Common Surgery Complications
If a doctor or nurse fails to properly monitor a patient during and after an operation, that patient could suffer possibly life threatening complications. Some of the most common post-surgery complications include the following:
- Potentially life threatening infections at site of surgery
- Hemorrhaging at surgery site
- Blood clots that could cause deep vein thrombosis
- Negative consequences related to anesthesia caused by a doctor failing to check for allergies or in a patient’s medical history
As a patient, you expect medical professionals with years of education and training to not make a mistake due to irresponsible or reckless behavior. Unfortunately, approximately 100,000 people die every year from medical mistakes. Get in touch with an attorney today to discuss holding these medical professionals liable.
