Surgery Medical Malpractice

Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and all of New York City

When you need surgery, you operate under the assumption that the surgeon is going to provide you with the best care possible. Surgical medical malpractice is devastating not only because of the physical and emotional damages, but because of the feeling of betrayal at the hands of a trusted medical professional. At Silberstein, Awad, and Mikols, P.C., our New York medical malpractice attorneys have helped hundreds of patients recover damages associated with botched jobs by negligent surgeons.

Common Types of Surgical Blunders

Any type of surgery can be preformed incorrectly. Commonly, patients seek recourse for:

• Surgery preformed on the wrong part of the body
• Postoperative leakage
• Injury to adjacent organs or structure
• Postoperative hemorrhaging
• Foreign object lefts in the surgical site

This is by no means a comprehensive list of potential surgery malpractice lawsuits. It is safe to assume that any surgery that is not preformed with diligence constitutes malpractice. It is also safe to assume that your surgeon will have a team of lawyers on his side to prove that his actions were not negligent. You deserve an experienced surgery malpractice attorney on your side to prove that they were.

Plastic Surgery Malpractice

In addition to the medical complications associated with general surgical malpractice, cosmetic surgery errors can cause aesthetically displeasing results. Scarring, odd shaping, and incorrect placement can all have a terribly damaging effect on your self esteem. Additionally, plastic surgery done incorrectly can have long-term medical impacts taking your results from merely displeasing to potentially harmful. Silberstein, Awad, and Mikols, P.C. has a proven track record with recouping the losses associated with plastic surgery malpractice gone wrong.

Proving Medical Malpractice

In order to prove malpractice in the case of surgery, it will need to be proved that you suffered injuries due to mistakes during surgery. In some cases this is simple, but in most cases, your surgeon and his lawyers will try to play negligence off as a “complication.” For this reason, it is imperative to have an experienced surgery malpractice attorney on your side.
