Wrong site surgery can take many forms, including operating on the wrong side of a patient's body, operating on the good knee instead of the bad one, and even amputating the wrong limb.
Wrong site surgery can occur when:
- A patient undergoes multiple procedures during a single trip to the operating room
- Patients are transferred from one surgeon to another
- Medical files are inaccurate or misread
- There is poor communication among medical staff
- Haste causes medical staff to mark the wrong location
Regardless of the error leading to wrong site surgery, it is important that the patient's rights are protected. Our lawyers have the experience, skill and resources to help victims of wrong site surgery obtain full and fair compensation for the losses they have suffered.
