Surgical Malpractice Lawyers in Winnipeg

Surgical Malpractice Lawyers in Winnipeg - Medical Malpractice Lawyers - Pollock & CompanySurgical malpractice involves negligence by a surgeon, anesthesiologist, nurse, or other healthcare staff involved in a surgical procedure.

What is a surgical error?

Surgical errors may include:

  • Incorrect procedure or technique
  • Improper patient positioning
  • Use of excessive force
  • Surgery in the wrong area
  • Damage to organs, including punctures
  • Performance of procedures outside the scope of informed consent

It is important to note that every medical operation carries certain risks, and not every error will result in a claim. To be successful in a lawsuit, like in other medical malpractice cases, patients must prove that the health care provider acted below the standard of care; in other words, that a reasonable health care provider would not have made that error or would have acted differently. The person must also prove that the breach in the standard of care caused harm or injury.
