Dallas Fort Worth Surgical Error Attorney
Doctors and surgeons are expected to follow certain standard treatment protocols and best practices when diagnosing illnesses and operating on patients. When physicians depart from these professional treatment guidelines they often put their patients at risk. The law office of personal injury lawyer W.T. Johnson consults medical professionals in evaluating a surgeon's decisions and actions in surgical error cases. Our office obtains copies of any OR video footage, medical charts, doctor history, and eyewitness testimony on the part of nurses and other staff involved. Working with medical experts, we meticulously go through an operating procedure step by step to determine when a medical error occurred, why the error wasn't noticed or corrected, and what should have been done in the first place to prevent the error from happening.
