Understand Your Rights If You Are Injured Due To A Surgical Error

Every surgery involves a certain amount of risk. Every patient who undergoes surgery understands that surgery is highly complex, and unexpected challenges can arise that may cause medical complications.

While patients must be understanding of unavoidable risks, however, they have a right to expect that doctors, nurses and medical staff will take adequate precautions to avoid unnecessary risks. No patient should have to endure serious or fatal injuries due to surgical errors that are avoidable.
