When Doctors Make Mistakes in Surgery
Surgery is nerve-wracking for many people. Before the surgery, worries exist about going under general anesthesia, resulting pain and whether the operation is the best treatment option. Whether you are the one undergoing surgery or you are supporting a loved one, anxiety exists.
Even though most people do worry about surgery, we rarely think that the doctor could incorrectly perform the surgery. We may not think that the doctor is inexperienced doing these procedures or that other issues could arise. At Tucker Law Office, we represent clients who were injured because of a doctor's surgical errors. We work with clients throughout Des Moines, surrounding areas and throughout the Iowa seeking financial compensation for the effects of surgical errors.

Understanding Surgical Errors
Doctors spend years going to school and learning everything they should know to competently operate on patients. So what goes wrong? Sometimes, doctors simply do not have enough experience. They do not know the inside of the body as well as they should. They make cuts where they shouldn't or there is a transection of vessels that were poorly identified.
When this happens, the impact can be permanent. I represent clients who suffered surgical errors, including:
- Post-surgical infections
- Wrong site surgeries
- Anesthesia errors
- Staph infections
- Foreign objects left in the body
Errors like these should never happen, and would likely not have occurred if the doctor had not been negligent. When doctors make these sorts of egregious mistakes, I work with closely with my clients to help them fight for the financial recovery they deserve.
