At Langer & Langer, we know how frightening it can be to face the reality of needing a surgical procedure. Even with all of the modern age’s technological advancements, surgery carries with it an undeniable nature of risk.
The tragedy is when the doctors or nurses entrusted with that patient’s fragile life take a misstep out of negligence and it leads the patient to harm and even sometimes death. These surgical errors qualify as medical malpractice and those responsible should be held accountable.
According to the National Library of Medicine, nearly 4,000 surgical errors occur annually in the U.S. These shocking numbers show just how prevalent and dangerous surgical mistakes can be. They also highlight the urgent need to hold negligent providers accountable and to protect patient safety at every step.

As mentioned before, surgery carries with it an inherent degree of risk because of the nature of the procedure. Therefore, not all surgical accidents are the result of outright malpractice.
The key is to determine whether the medical team involved in the task was, or wasn’t, performing their duties to the reasonable standard of care. If it is determined one or more of them acted out of carelessness, they may be held liable to the patient for any injury.
Errors that lead to detrimental injuries to the surgical patient can happen in the operating room, or even before the procedure begins.
Doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and administrators, may be found liable if one of the following is determined to have taken place:
When neglect enters the operation room, it is the patient that usually suffers. Consequences of surgical errors are usually catastrophic as the patient’s life hangs in the balance. Therefore, valid malpractice claims can result in significant compensation to the patient and their family for the undue injury, and rightfully so.
Injuries due to malpractice can be life altering. At Langer & Langer, our Indiana medical malpractice attorneys know that money does not take away the emotional trauma and stress placed in your life, especially if you lost a loved one to malpractice.
We do, however, believe that compensation can help you cope with the financial burdens of this tragedy so that you can focus on healing and rebuilding with your family.
