When you undergo surgery, you place your trust in the hands of medical professionals, expecting the highest standard of care. Unfortunately, surgical errors can occur, resulting in significant harm and lasting health concerns. When a surgeon is responsible for avoidable harm during your operation, they need to be held accountable for their actions.

At The Oppenheimer Firm, we concentrate on seeking justice for our clients after they suffer harm. Our Chicago medical malpractice lawyer is adept in holding doctors and hospitals accountable for injuries stemming from poor surgical practices. We are committed to doing all we can in seeking the justice and compensation you need to move forward.

Understanding The Scope Of Surgical Errors

Surgical errors are a form of medical malpractice that can take many forms, from operating on the wrong body part to leaving surgical instruments inside a patient. These errors can lead to severe infection, prolonged recovery, additional surgeries, and in some cases, irreversible damage or death. The consequences of these injuries can last years or a lifetime, and it is only fair to pursue compensation that accurately reflects the current and future costs of your injuries.
