Cataract, Lasik, and Eye Surgery Malpractice

Queens, New York, Eye Surgery Malpractice Lawyer

Over the past several years, there has been an explosion in the number of surgical procedures to improve eyesight. Some of the procedures, such as cataract surgery, have been recognized for many decades as a necessary way to save a person's eyesight. Other procedures, such as Lasik surgery, are for cosmetic purposes to improve eyesight without the need for corrective lenses. Although eye surgery clinics make spectacular claims of doing thousands of eye surgery procedures every year, shortcuts are taken, mistakes happen, and serious eye injuries occur.

The personal injury attorney you hire to represent you must have experience in proving medical negligence.

• First, the doctor must have preformed a negligent act or acted in such a way that indicates professional negligence. That negligence is generally defined as a doctor not following the accepted standards of medical care in the community.
• Second, you must be able to show actual damages or harm caused by the negligence.
• Third, you must be able to show that a definite link existed between the doctor's mistake and the eye injury it caused.
