Surgical Errors

Undergoing surgery is frightening for many people. A surgical procedure that involves general anesthesia leaves people vulnerable. When that vulnerability is compounded by surgical negligence or avoidable errors, patients need somewhere to turn. At the Connecticut law firm of Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante, P.C., our lawyers help people obtain compensation for their injuries, additional medical bills, and pain and suffering caused by a medical error by a member of a surgical team. If you or a family member has suffered an injury because of a surgical error, contact an attorney at our New Haven law firm to schedule a free initial consultation.

Medical errors during surgery

Our medical malpractice team, with two specially trained lawyers and two registered nurses, consults with nationally recognized experts about medical errors during surgery. With their advice, we develop strong cases for our injured clients. We have helped individuals with nerve damage because of an accidental cut. Other clients have come to our law firm because they endured unnecessary surgery, or unnecessarily developed a serious post-operative infection. Still others have had surgery on the wrong body part, requiring additional surgery and extended recovery time.

Failure to monitor

In addition to medical errors such as these, our lawyers have helped people who suffered brain damage or who died because of a failure to monitor the condition of the patient during surgery. We have obtained compensation for those who have developed serious post-surgical complications that were not addressed quickly because of a procedural hospital error; a failure to check on a patient during the recovery period is not uncommon. We have filed many wrongful death claims on behalf of surviving family members whose loved one died as a result of surgical error.

If you have suffered further illness or if a family member has died as a result of a medical error during surgery, contact a lawyer with the experience and resources to help you. For more than 50 years, the attorneys at Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante, P.C., have been helping people recover compensation for injuries, medical expenses, and other costs of a surgical error. From our New Haven office, we serve Stamford, Hartford, Bridgeport, New London, Waterbury, and all of Connecticut.
