Cleveland Surgical Malpractice Lawyer
The internal organs lie in very close proximity to one another within the body, and surgeons must exercise an extreme level of care in the course of performing any procedure. Even the slightest amount of damage to an organ has the potential to hurt its efficiency and can often lead to serious health issues for the patient. Fortunately, the vast majority of operations are a complete success without any damage to the other organs. When damage does occur, however, the impact on the patient can be devastating.
Contact us for a free consultation if you or a loved one has suffered organ damage related to a surgical procedure.
Organ damage claims can be extremely difficult to prove because the impact of the damage may not become apparent for a considerable period of time after your surgery. When you hire our firm, we work to establish a clear connection between the damaged organ and your subsequent health issues. We seek to hold the surgeon, the hospital and any other liable parties accountable for the harm you have suffered. — Partner Peter J. Brodhead
At Spangenberg Shibley & Liber, our Ohio organ damage lawyers provide dedicated, results-oriented representation to victims who have suffered serious health impacts due to ill-functioning organs that were damaged by a negligent surgeon. We understand how the insurance companies operate in these cases and the lengths they will go to in order to avoid responsibility for the harm surgeons cause. We work to prepare iron-clad cases that compel the liable parties to take your claim seriously and to treat you fairly.
Potential Causes of Organ Damage
Organ damage can occur in many different ways and may arise during the procedure or well after the surgery has been completed. No matter what type of organ damage you may have suffered, or when it might have occurred, you would be well advised to seek out a qualified medical malpractice law firm with experience in these types of cases. Many of the organ damage claims we handle are caused by the following types of issues:
- Infections that develop after the surgery
- Making incisions that are too deep or in the wrong location
- Puncture or perforation injuries to an unrelated organ during surgery
- Failure to properly repair punctures or perforations
- Improper repair of severed arteries and veins
- Leaving medical instruments inside the patient
The impact of the organ damage that can be suffered in these cases can range from a decrease in the efficiency of the damaged organ to, in the most extreme cases, the death of the patient. We work closely with medical experts and other specialists to help us build the most compelling possible case on your behalf. We seek full and just compensation for your medical care and any other losses you may have suffered.
