What Constitutes A Surgical Error?
Surgical errors are preventable mistakes made during surgery. They are not the same as the inherent risks that come with any procedure. Sometimes surgeries have poor outcomes even when everything is done correctly. These are known risks, not errors.
A surgical error occurs when a surgeon or medical team fails to meet the standard of care that is expected of them. This means they did not provide the care that a skilled professional is expected to give. When they don’t meet this standard, it can lead to a preventable injury.
Attorney Kalur values precision and thoroughness in handling malpractice cases. She is dedicated to holding medical professionals accountable and to helping clients establish valid misdiagnosis and medical malpractice claims.
