The most commonly reviewed medical malpractice cases include surgical errors. While these errors can range from inadvertently cutting or injuring organs or nerves, to the length of incision, administering and monitoring anesthesia. These errors may even include post-surgical care along with follow-up appointments.
Following a surgical error, insurance agencies tend to limit or deny claims, stating that your behavior contributed to the injury. At Greg Monforton & Partners, our medical malpractice lawyers have over 30 years of experience, and have handled dozens of surgical error cases. During this time, we have developed a great knowledge and understanding of these cases, which allow us to present an aggressive stance against these insurance agencies. By doing so, our lawyers have achieved millions in compensation for our clients.
