Representing Patients and Families in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Do the benefits of surgery outweigh the risks? When faced with the choice, many people trust in their doctor's advice and their surgeon's skill. That is understandable; physicians are among the most highly respected members of our society. But when surgery causes additional injury or wrongful death, people feel guilty or foolish for trusting their doctors.
There is nothing wrong with counting on a trained professional to do his or her job correctly. The error or negligence is not your fault. At the Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C., we have more than 30 years of combined experience with medical malpractice claims. We understand the conflicted feelings patients and families have after a surgical error. Our lawyers also understand that you need to recover damages to pay medical costs and other expenses; we will fight for your right to compensation.

You Have the Right to Competent Surgical Care
Surgical errors can occur before, during or after the surgery. In fact, negligent postoperative care is a common cause of patient injury and death. Additional errors can include:
- Foreign objects left in the patient
- Unnecessary surgery
- Failure to perform surgery adequately
- Gallbladder surgery/bile duct injury
- Anesthesia errors
- Failure to attend to patient in time
A mistake or negligent treatment by surgeons, doctors, nurses and other caregivers can result in catastrophic injury such as brain damage, spinal injury, disfigurement, loss of limbs, nerve damage, chronic pain/RSD and other conditions. In the most severe cases, the error may cause the wrongful death of the patient.
We consult with medical experts, economists and life-care planners to determine the extent of the damage and the long-term effects it will have on the patient and family. You may need compensation for medical costs, additional treatment, monthly bills, lost income or funeral expenses.
We aggressively pursue surgical error claims. To make an appointment with our Trenton, New Jersey, hospital malpractice attorneys, please call one of our offices or contact us online. Your consultation is free.
