Surgery is often a necessary and life-saving procedure, but when errors occur, the consequences can be devastating. A single mistake in the operating room can lead to severe injuries, prolonged recovery, or even wrongful death. If you or a loved one has suffered due to a surgical error, you may have legal options to seek compensation for your losses.

At The Mabrey Firm, we have successfully represented victims of medical malpractice across Georgia, securing millions in compensation for our clients. Our experienced team understands the complexities of surgical error cases and is dedicated to holding negligent medical professionals accountable.

Common Types of Surgical Errors

Surgical errors can occur due to negligence, miscommunication, or lack of proper protocol. Some of the most common surgical mistakes include:

• Wrong-Site Surgery: Operating on the wrong body part or even the wrong patient.
• Anesthesia Errors: Administering too much or too little anesthesia, leading to severe complications or awareness during surgery.
• Instruments Left Inside the Patient: Surgical tools or sponges left inside the body can lead to infections and further surgeries.
• Nerve or Organ Damage: Accidental damage to nerves, organs, or blood vessels can result in long-term health issues.
• Post-Surgical Infections: Failure to maintain a sterile environment can lead to life-threatening infections.
