Surgical errors are mistakes committed by doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals before, during, or after a surgical procedure that either endangers the life of the patient or causes the patient undue injury and suffering. The Joint Commission is responsible for accrediting hospitals and ensuring that they have protocols in place to ensure several things, including that a procedure is performed on the correct patient, that the procedure is the correct surgery, that it is performed on the right body part, and that the patient receives appropriate and quality care.
If you failed to receive the correct surgery or the care you deserve before, during, or after your procedure, contact the Florida medical malpractice lawyers of Winston Law Firm, by calling (954) 475-9666 and learn more about what our attorneys can do for you.
