Your Malpractice Story Matters:
We are usually already injured, many times severely injured, at the time we see an Orthopedic Surgeon. We have every right to expect they will not make our situation worse.
Unfortunately, errors are not uncommon in this field and can lead to severe permanent disability, chronic pain, or even life-threatening conditions.
Orthopedic surgeons and orthopedists are the third-most likely to face medical malpractice lawsuits.
Orthopedic malpractice refers to professional negligence or failure by orthopedic surgeons to provide the standard of care expected in the medical treatment of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
Orthopedics is a huge area of medicine with subspecialties for hand, foot, joints, ligaments, cancer, spine, trauma, shoulder and elbow, hips and knees, and sports medicine.
Since Orthopedics is so subspecialized, many times surgeons attempt to care for problems outside their lane of specialty. This can lead to correctable problems becoming uncorrectable.
It is of vital importance that our injured bones, joints, and ligaments maintain blood flow. Delay can result in the death of tissue that should not have died. Delays in diagnosing postoperative infections can be just as tragic.
Spinal surgeries, knee and hip, hand, elbow, shoulders, these are intricate portions of our body that require the utmost of skill and care. Sometimes, errors in judgment or technique can result in permanent catastrophic injury or even death.
Malpractice can affect a patient’s ability to move and cause life-long pain. When this happens, Casey seeks justice for clients and makes operating rooms safer for everyone.
