Surgical Malpractice Lawyer in North Carolina

Helping Victims of Surgical Errors and Injuries

Every surgery has its risks. However, people choose to proceed with surgery because they hope it will improve the quality of their life in the long run. While countless surgeries are performed every day without any injury to the patients, there are times in which a surgical error or injury occurs that compromises the patient's health.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to surgical malpractice, an experienced North Carolina surgical injury attorney at Lanier Law Group can help you exercise rights you may have to compensation under the state's medical malpractice laws. Surgeons, OR nurses, and anesthesiologists are entrusted to conduct the surgery in a way that does not cause injury, harm, or death to the patient. While there are situations in which a complication may arise during the surgery through no fault of the medical team, if you can prove the injury was caused by surgical malpractice on the part of the surgeon, OR nurses, or anesthesiologist, you may be awarded damages for your pain and suffering, mental anguish, decreased quality of life, medical bills, and loss of wages. If your loved one was killed due to a surgical error, an attorney at our office can assist you in pursuing a wrongful death claim as well.
