Client Testimonials
I was riding my motorcycle in Detroit when a tractor-trailer truck forced me to roll into an oncoming lane of traffic. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and bone fractures, which required surgeries. I chose Buckfire & Buckfire for my case and they settled it for $1,100,000.00. In my opinion, they are the best motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.

Michigan Surgery Malpractice Cases
Our Michigan medical malpractice lawyers often represent clients who have suffered injuries due to surgical mistakes, or "botched surgeries." Surgical mistakes refer to events during a surgical procedure in which the surgeon, anesthesiologist, or nursing staff performs the procedure improperly which results in injury and harm to the patient. This would include cutting the wrong artery or vein, performing a surgery in the wrong area of the body, and negligent procedural mistakes, like leaving a surgical instrument or sponge inside the body or incorrectly administering anesthesia.
Proving a Michigan Surgery Malpractice Case
There are many risks associated with surgical procedures and some surgeries are extremely difficult and complicated. As such, a poor outcome or bad result is not necessarily and indication that a surgeon committed malpractice. In order to prove malpractice, it must be established that the surgeon or medical staff was negligent either during the procedure or post-operatively.
Some surgical mistakes result in catastrophic injuries, like incorrect amputation or breast mastectomy, due to the negligence involved. However, many smaller surgical mistakes go completely unnoticed. These surgical mistakes can range from errors regarding the monitoring of patients' vital signs, the type and length of incision, the surgery itself, and the inadvertent cutting or injuring of nerves, organs, or other body parts. Post- and pre-surgical care and follow-up are also considered in the area of surgical mistakes.
Effects of Surgical Errors and Mistakes
Surgical errors and mistakes can cause needless pain and suffering, complications further in life, emotional distress, decrease in health as well as many other injuries such as loss of time from work and incurring huge unnecessary medical costs. Many more serious errors give rise to Michigan wrongful death lawsuits.
Types of Surgery Errors
The most common types of surgery malpractice cases are:
- Gastric Bypass Surgery
- Bariatric Surgery
- Gallbladder Surgery
- Spinal Surgery
- Hysterectomy Surgery
