The term ‘surgical error’ is broad. It covers any mistakes made during an operation. Therefore, several parties can be held liable for a surgical error. These include:
1. The surgeon responsible for the operation
2. The healthcare staff supporting the surgeon during the operation
3. Other employees of the healthcare facility
4. The healthcare facility including the hospital or surgical center
5. Manufacturers of medical or surgical equipment
It should be noted that under Pennsylvania law, an employer can be held liable for the negligent actions of their employee. Therefore a hospital or other healthcare facility can face a lawsuit for negligence as a result of the negligence of an individual employee. This is good news for victims as you will be more likely to recover more in compensation by pursuing an institution rather than pursuing an individual.
Contact our law firm to schedule a consultation with an experienced Philadelphia surgical error lawyer and learn about the options available to you.

Not every negative outcome is the result of negligence, but many surgical injuries occur because a surgeon, anesthesiologist, or other medical professional failed to meet the accepted standard of care. Signs of a surgical error may include unexpected complications, severe infection, retained surgical instruments, unexplained pain, results inconsistent with the diagnosis, or being informed that additional corrective surgery is needed. An experienced surgical error attorney can review medical records, consult experts, and determine whether your injuries resulted from negligence.
-
Surgical errors can involve mistakes made before, during, or after surgery. Common examples include operating on the wrong site, performing the wrong procedure, damaging organs or nerves, leaving instruments inside the patient, mixing up patients, failing to monitor vital signs, or failing to address complications in a timely manner. These errors often occur due to poor communication, fatigue, inadequate planning, or lack of proper safety protocols. If negligence played a role, you may be entitled to pursue compensation for the harm you suffered.
