What Can A Charlotte Hysterectomy Injury Lawyer Do For Me?
Medical malpractice lawyers hold negligent healthcare providers, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical nurses, accountable for negligence and a deviation from the accepted level of care you deserve. We build a case of malpractice after problems with a hysterectomy by proving the four elements of medical malpractice:
- There was an accepted doctor-patient relationship between you and the physician
- The physician, other staff, or even the healthcare facility was negligent and failed to follow the accepted standard of care for your medical procedure
- This negligence or oversight led directly to your injury or harm
- You suffered damages because of their negligence
We do this by gathering evidence, including analyzing your medical records, to show that you did, indeed, suffer harm under the doctor’s and other medical professionals’ care. Our firm employs expert medical witnesses to attest that the doctor deviated from the accepted standard of care and explain to a jury what should have happened in your case.
We combine the evidence and testimony with fine points of North Carolina law to present a strong case to the jury. We fight hard—no matter how tough the opponent is—to ensure that you receive fair compensatory damages.
Winning A Malpractice Claim After A Hysterectomy
Not every surgical error or complication after surgery reaches the level of malpractice. Hysterectomies are major abdominal surgeries, and as such, they carry significant risks with the procedure itself and complications afterward. However, some serious deviations from accepted medical care qualify as malpractice, and this is what we, as your legal advocates, look for.
Malpractice can include:
- Failure to fully inform you of the risks of the surgery and ensure you understand them before consenting
- Failure to secure proper consent from you
- Operational negligence that creates a surgical or post-operation problem
You may also have a claim for malpractice if you were misdiagnosed, had to have your uterus removed, but in fact, did not have a medical condition that necessitated it. Please contact us if you underwent an unnecessary and painful medical procedure.
