Brooklyn Surgical Errors Lawyer for Victims of Surgical Malpractice

Victims of Surgical Malpractice Surgical malpractice is when a patient is harmed by the negligence of a surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical nurse, or other medical staff involved in a surgical procedure. It occurs when a medical professional deviates from the standard of care in the medical community.

Medical Malpractice occurs when a doctor and/or surgical staff performs surgery on the wrong part of the body, the wrong organ may be worked upon, the wrong part of the body may be amputated, the doctor fails to establish a clear line of communication between all members of the surgical team, surgical tools are left inside the patient’s body, an organ is punctured during surgery, operating on wrong patient, or the doctor may not have the experience or knowledge needed to perform or complete the surgery, among other critical errors.

The doctor and surgical staff must do everything they can to avoid potential errors. The most common kinds of surgical malpractice cases involve:

A surgical malpractice case carries a cost most families cannot front. New York requires a Certificate of Merit from a qualified physician before the case can even be filed. 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.

Most families know the surgery went wrong long before they can explain why. Some have already been turned away by a firm that asked them to gather records and then said no without reading them. Karasik Law Group, P.C. handles that part 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 report and pinpoint where the standard of care was breached. New York requires that physician sign a Certificate of Merit before the case proceeds, and the firm covers the cost of that review. You do not need the medical answer before you call. You need someone who will actually read the chart.

A surgical malpractice case can run for years, and the lawyer who answers your first call should still be the one answering in month eighteen. At Karasik Law Group, P.C. that lawyer is Alexander Karasik, Esq. He handles the operative records, the independent physicians, and the filing deadlines himself, and you reach him directly at every stage.
