Insurance studies show that people who hire lawyers win three times more money from their cases than those that don’t. With this statistic and our contingency fee – you can rest knowing you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Please don’t wait to take action. The insurance company is already gathering evidence against you. They are not your friend – no matter how nice they sound when they contact you. They will use everything you say against you. Hiring a lawyer protects you from that. The insurance company can’t hold you responsible for what we say on your behalf.

Fighting for Clients in Maryland and DC
Under state law, medical professionals owe their patients a certain standard of care, which simply means that doctors and surgeons must make sure to follow medical industry standards to avoid causing harm to patients. They can be held accountable should they violate these standards and cause injury to a patient, even if such injury was unintentional.
Fortunately for surgical error victims, this means they have a legal right to pursue compensation through a lawsuit. In general, a person must file a lawsuit within three years from the date of the medical negligence, so contact our experienced team of medical malpractice attorneys today for us to start investigating your potential claim.
If a child was injured during surgery, they have until their 21st birthday to file a lawsuit.

What Is Considered a Surgical Error?
Any error made during surgery can be called a “surgical error,” but injured patients can only file a claim if they can prove that the error that injured them was preventable. In other words, it must be the result of a medical professional’s negligence before, during, or after surgery.
Common Surgical Errors
Several of the most common surgical errors are:
- Ordering the incorrect procedure
- Failing to obtain informed consent from the patient regarding how the surgery will be performed, risks or known complications of the surgery, and alternatives to surgery, including whether non-surgical treatment is an option
- Performing the surgery incorrectly
- Failing to inform a patient on how to prepare for surgery
- Failing to consider the patient’s medical history, risk factors, etc.
- Operating on the wrong patient
- Operating on the wrong body part
- Making an incision at the incorrect location
- Using defective or unsterilized surgical equipment
- Surgically inserting a medical device in the wrong place/position
- Discharging a patient too soon after surgery
- Failing to give the patient the postoperative care he or she needs
Take care to note that this list is not exhaustive. Medical professionals and institutions can make many different mistakes before, during, and after surgery, which is why it is important to have an experienced medical negligence attorney review the facts and medical records of your case in order to determine if you have a basis for a lawsuit.
If you or a loved one suffered preventable injury/complications due to a botched surgery, you may have a case. Contact us today to investigate your claim.
