Damages Claims for Surgery Errors in Ohio
By its very nature, surgery presents risks that extend beyond the underlying health problem being treated by the procedure. A serious mistake by an anesthesiologist can result in severe and permanent brain damage. Laparoscopic surgery errors can sever blood vessels or ducts and burn organ tissue. Even a simple failure to keep track of tools can mean that the patient could carry around retained surgical instruments or sponges until a serious infection compels further medical attention.
If you or someone in your family has experienced a serious health problem as the result of negligent performance by a surgeon or other member of the operating team, contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney at Friedman, Domiano & Smith Co., LPA in Cleveland. Our understanding of Ohio medical malpractice law, our ability to work effectively with medical consultants, and our skill with evidence in court all combine to give you an advantage in collecting compensation for negligence in the operating room.
