Surgical Malpractice WE ARE READY TO HELP

Surgical Malpractice Lawyers in Maryland

There have been reports of gross negligence on the part of hospital staff while in the operation room for any number of procedures. If you have been a victim or a loved one has suffered because of a negligent healthcare provider, then it is important that you speak with a Baltimore surgical malpractice attorney and seek the compensation that you deserve.

Negligence in Baltimore’s Operating Rooms

Surgeries can make anyone feel vulnerable. You are rendered unconscious by an anesthesiologist and subjected to incisions and other actions performed by a surgeon. It is not uncommon to feel nervous or anxious before entering into surgery, but most patients assume that they will be well taken care of by medical staff while they are under anesthesia; however, this is not always the case.

What Can Go Wrong in Surgery?

There are a number of things that may go wrong during surgery, each of them pertaining to a different component of the surgical team. A hospital may be held liable for your injuries if their staff members failed to properly sanitize or stock the operation room. Nurses and doctors may be held responsible for malpractice if they acted in a negligent manner by not following surgery protocol or sanitation requirements.

If you suffered or your child was injured during a C-section, an OB-GYN may be responsible for the damages that you and your child suffered. If an anesthesiologist did not render the correct amount of anesthesia during the surgery, then you may have been subjected to waking up during the procedure or suffered from an anesthesia overdose or oxygen deprivation. Any of these circumstances may be grounds for a claim for compensation, and a Baltimore surgical malpractice attorney from our firm can evaluate your case.


Did you sustain an injury during a surgery in Baltimore?

Surgery is a very sensitive part of the medical field. Regardless of the specificities of the procedure, every operation carries an inherent degree of risk by nature. However, if an error occurs due to the gross negligence or oversight of one of the operating staff, the injuries sustained by the patient could be attributed to medical malpractice. Surgical errors are a serious matter – never is a person more at the mercy of another human being than when they are under the influence of anesthetics and being operated on. During those times, Miller Stern Lawyers trust in the education, training and experience of the surgeons to properly handle the situation. Failure to practice to the standard of care required for surgical professionals can result in serious, if not life-threatening, injuries to the patient.
