Brooklyn Bowel Perforation Lawyer

A bowel perforation is a hole in the small intestine or the large intestine, and a surgeon nicking the bowel during an abdominal procedure can put your life in danger or leave you with lasting injuries. A perforation that goes unnoticed is not the same as one that was caught and repaired, and telling those two apart takes someone who can read the operative and post-operative records. Alexander Karasik, Esq. has handled medical malpractice cases across New York for more than 18 years, and Karasik Law Group, P.C. recovered $700,000 in a matter involving a bowel perforation during C-section delivery. Every case starts with a review of your medical records at no cost to you, so you learn whether the standard of care was actually breached before you commit to anything.

Medical malpractice occurs when a physician deviates from the established and accepted protocols of the medical community. This causes him or her to treat the patient incorrectly or to fail to treat the patient at all. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and diagnostic imaging technicians are just some of the many parties who could potentially commit medical malpractice.

One of the primary risks in any surgical procedure is that the surgeon will make a mistake. The most common reason for a bowel perforation is abdominal surgery. Surgeons should exercise caution during these procedures since they work in tight spaces in which the surgeon could nick or puncture any number of organs. When a surgeon fails to meet this standard of care, a bowel perforation could occur.

Bowel injury is rare during cesarean section, but not unheard of. Medical malpractice often occurs during the post-operative period. This can include the surgeon’s failure to realize something is going wrong, and/or their failure to react to the patient’s condition appropriately, including providing appropriate consultation.

The perforation itself is rarely a basis for a medical malpractice claim because it is a recognized risk of the surgery. Unfortunately, a perforation is not always identified during the surgery, and the mother’s abdomen is closed without a repair being done. Over the days that follow, an infection develops to the point that the mother becomes obviously unwell.

A perforation causes the contents of your bowel to spill into your abdominal cavity. This causes a highly toxic and dangerous situation for you. The longer the situation goes unresolved, the greater the chances are that you could develop sepsis. Your life could be in danger if not diagnosed and rectified quickly.

A bowel perforation case carries a cost most families cannot front. Before New York will let the case proceed, a qualified physician has to review your records and sign a Certificate of Merit confirming the standard of care was breached. Karasik Law Group, P.C. advances that expert-review cost and every other case expense. You pay no retainer, no hourly fee, and nothing out of pocket. The attorney fee comes only from the recovery, and only if we win. If we do not recover compensation, you owe nothing.

A bowel perforation claim can run for years, and the lawyer who answers your call in month one should still be the one answering in month eighteen. At Karasik Law Group, P.C. that lawyer is Alexander Karasik, Esq. He handles the records, the independent physician review, and the filing deadlines himself, and you reach him directly at every stage. He gives you a straight, honest read on where the case actually stands, including who is truly liable, whether that is the surgeon, the hospital, or the facility that closed the abdomen without catching the injury. If a clinic visit is hard right now, the first review can happen by phone or secure video from home.

Brooklyn families also tell us how much it matters to go through a case like this in their own language. Karasik Law Group, P.C. handles bowel perforation and medical malpractice claims in Russian, Ukrainian, English, and Spanish, so you understand every question, every option, and every number before you decide anything.

Most families know something went wrong long before they can explain why. The abdomen was closed, the pain kept climbing, and by the time the infection was caught it had already done damage. Some have already been turned away by a firm that asked them to gather records and then said no without ever sitting down to read them. That is the part Karasik Law Group, P.C. handles differently. The review of your medical records happens first and at no cost to you. Alexander Karasik, Esq. works with a network of independent physicians, outside the hospital that treated you, who read the operative and post-operative records and pinpoint where the standard of care was breached and where the perforation should have been caught. You do not need the medical answer before you call. You need someone who will actually look.

No. A bowel perforation is a recognized risk of abdominal surgery and a C-section, so the perforation by itself is rarely the basis for a claim. Malpractice usually turns on what happened next, such as a surgeon closing the abdomen without catching the injury, or a failure to recognize and react to the infection in the days that follow.
