Surgical Errors and Unnecessary Surgery

Surgical errors can cause a lifetime of medical problems and pain. The number of surgical procedures increases in the United States every year, resulting in a significant number of mistakes leading to serious injuries. If you have been injured because of a mistake made during surgery, poor pre-operative planning, or improper post-operative care, we can help you recover compensation.

We are the Law Offices of Paul W. Cutrone. For more than 25 years attorney Paul Cutrone has been an effective medical malpractice trial attorney. As a defense attorney, Mr. Cutrone provided aggressive litigation defense for surgeons, doctors, and hospitals being sued for surgery malpractice.

We also help people recover money damages after undergoing a surgical procedure that wasn't necessary, or didn't treat the medical condition. Every year, thousands of Americans are subjected to unnecessary pain, expense, and recovery after undergoing a surgical procedure that simply wasn't necessary. We can help people recover money damages for unnecessary procedures such as bariatric surgery, eye surgery, back operations, and other surgical procedures that provided no long-term medical solution.

Every physician malpractice case must have three elements present:

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 surgical error or unnecessary procedure. If a doctor was acting in good faith and negligently performed a procedure that did not result in physical or financial harm, your case may not have legal merit. If a surgical mistake resulted in serious injury or death, you may be entitled to sue for damages.

Third, you must be able to show that a definite link existed between the surgeon's mistake and the harm it caused. Every doctor's mistake is not reason to award compensation for injuries.
