Surgical Error Lawyers Serving The State Of Delaware
Last updated on May 5, 2025
Surgical errors can cause irreparable harm. They can result in long-term complications for patients and require additional surgery to first fix the error and then perform the procedure that was originally intended. This can be dangerous for patients, put them at risk for infection and other complications, and result in additional medical expenses.
At Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, we are surgical error lawyers who represent malpractice victims throughout the state of Delaware. We know how stressful surgical procedures can be for patients and their families, and we will fight to hold doctors and health care facilities liable for their negligent actions.
Surgery Negligence Claims In Delaware
When you go for surgery, you expect the doctors to take good care of you. But sometimes, things go wrong. If a surgeon makes a mistake, it might be surgery negligence. In Delaware, if you think you were harmed during surgery, you have rights.
Surgery negligence happens when a surgeon does not follow the rules of their job. This can mean that they did not pay enough attention or made a mistake that could have been avoided. For example, if you had abdominal adhesion removal surgery and the surgeon did not perform it correctly, you might have a surgery negligence claim.
If you feel worse after surgery or notice new problems, think about what happened during the operation. Ask yourself: Did the surgeon explain the risks? Did they act carefully? If you believe there was a capacity for error, then you might have a claim.
To support your claim, collect all medical records related to your surgery. Keep notes about your symptoms and any conversations you have with doctors. This information will be important for medical malpractice litigation. It helps show what went wrong and how it affected you.
It’s important to speak with a surgery negligence attorney who can guide you. They will review your case, help gather evidence and explain your rights.
