New York Surgical Error Attorneys

Every surgery carries some type of risk. In fact, did you know that approximately 98,000 wrongful deaths occur in the United States each year as the result of surgical error?

Some errors may cause complications during the procedure, anesthesia error, or infections that develop after the surgery. However, if a patient was injured and even died as a result and it appears to have been a mistake caused by the negligence of the medical professionals charged with his or her care, those at fault must be held responsible.Common Ways Surgical Errors Occur

Anesthesia error.
Incorrect incision.
Use of improperly sterilized equipment.
Operating on the wrong organ, body part, or even the wrong patient.
Leaving tools or other medical equipment inside the body cavity after a procedure.
Causing damage to other areas of the body during surgery.
Negligent amputation – when a surgeon removes the incorrect limb.
Injuries Caused by Surgical Error
Nerve or organ damage.
Infection.
Internal bleeding.
Disfigurement.
Unnecessary scarring.
Brain damage trauma to the limbs, bowels, respiratory, nervous, or circulatory systems.
Birth injury.
Death of the baby and/or mother during childbirth.

Surgical errors are simply one of the most devastating things that can happen to a person and their entire family. The death of a loved one can seriously change people’s lives and tear families apart.

If the person survives the error, the results can affect their quality of life, their relationships, and their physical, emotional and psychological well being for years to come.

Amy L.

I can't possibly say enough good things about my experience with this law firm. It's difficult to imagine going through this trial without Gersowitz, Libo, & Korek and in particular, Jeff Korek. Articulate, intelligent, kind, and direct were my first impressions of him and until I saw him in the courtroom, I had no idea that these qualities would make him unstoppable at trial. In a lawsuit that spanned almost 7 years, I put myself in his hands and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Difficult at times but Jeff and his team were sensitive to those difficulties and made me understand that they would help and protect me during the process. I came to trust them implicitly. Jeff and his team not only secured my ability to pay for future medical treatments and chemotherapy, but he made sure that my children's future was secure. At Gersowitz, Libo, & Korek, they fight for you like you're family and treat you as such. Thank you, Jeff, for fighting for my future and helping me stay in the fight with you! I hope this day never comes but I wouldn't hesitate to ask for your help again.

Michaela

So many times I wanted to quick and Jeff guided me on the right path. Answered all my questions, always there when I had a concerned regarding the case. Very smart and knowledgeable. I would recommend his services. I appreciate all your help. My financial future is secure for my family and I thanks to you guys.

BETSY MARTINEZ

Words alone cannot express our utmost gratitude at the comprehensive handling of my family’s case. This was a long, drawn out case that took quite some time to come to judgment. Jeff and his team were very thorough and relentless in their pursuit of justice for our family. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.
