Back Surgery Injury, Errors And Medical Malpractice
Back surgery is commonly applied to many back problems, including back pain, herniated discs, pinched nerves and dislocated vertebrae. Orthopedic surgery, especially those involving the back and spine, requires precision and care. Unfortunately, there are common surgical errors that can occur, including errors with anesthesia or other medications.
These mistakes can lead to lasting and severe complications, resulting in nerve damage, chronic pain, paralysis, infection or the need for additional surgeries. When you entrust your health to medical professionals, you expect the highest standard of care. If that standard is not met, our medical malpractice attorneys at Steinberg, Goodman & Kalish are prepared to stand with you in seeking justice.
What Is Spinal Fusion Surgery?
Spinal fusion connects two or more vertebrae in the back together to increase and reinforce stability in the spine. Spinal fusion is often performed upon those who have had fractures or back injuries to the spine. It is a complicated and risky surgery. Misdiagnosis, not following established standards of care, issues with consent and surgical errors are not uncommon.
Because the surgery can involve removing bones, drilling or cutting near the spinal cord, it can be considered a risky procedure. Any slight miscalculation can result in a catastrophic and debilitating injury. Medical malpractice can sometimes be compounded by the use of dangerous or defective medical devices.
At Steinberg, Goodman & Kalish, our personal injury lawyers seek justice for those who have suffered further injury from spinal fusion surgery or any other type of back surgery. Our firm’s medical malpractice lawyers have the experience to investigate complex cases to uncover all liable parties and hold them accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
