Missouri Surgery Mistake Attorneys
Prior to any type of surgical procedure, the patient will have a fairly clear idea of what the outcome is supposed to be. Unfortunately, there is sometimes a significant difference between the expected outcome and the actual outcome. This may be the sign of a surgical error.
At the Hullverson Law Firm, our attorneys have represented many clients in Missouri and Illinois medical malpractice cases. Whether aggressively negotiating with insurance companies or taking these matters to trial, we know what is necessary to get results.
What Went Wrong?
In some cases, surgeon errors are painfully obvious. One of the most common types of errors that we have seen involves medical implements being left in the body after surgery. Sponges, needles and other similar objects are obviously intended to be removed. When they are left inside the body, they can lead to serious complications.
In some cases, the error is not quite so obvious. The patient may suffer from serious post-surgical infections. While infections may occur even when a surgeon does things correctly, they can also result from errors. We know how to determine what went wrong.
Medical Records Do Not Mention Surgical Errors
Needless to say, it is unlikely that a doctor will have admitted to anything other than perfection in his or her operative notes. Thankfully, our lawyers have developed a network of medical experts from around the country who have excellent qualifications and the ability to get to the truth of what happened, regardless of what the doctor noted.
Personal Injury Cases Handled on a Contingency Basis
Our legal fees are based on contingency. If there is no recovery in your surgical error case, you will owe us nothing for fees or expenses.
