Surgical malpractice is responsible for causing a shocking number of deaths every day throughout the United States.  Approximately 225,000 people lose their lives every year due to negligent health care providers and services, and considering how large this number is it is vital that we begin to reduce this number by making sure medical professionals know that they will be held fully accountable for their actions.  At The Law Office of Edward Smith, we take cases of medical malpractice and surgical injury very seriously and work hard to protect the rights of injured individuals and their families.  A Boulder medical malpractice lawyer from our firm will take aggressive legal action on your behalf if you have been the victim of a surgical error in Colorado.    

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury during any of the three following categories of surgery, you should immediately speak with a Boulder medical malpractice attorney:

• Emergency:  Surgery that is performed as soon as possible.
• Urgent:  This type of surgery is performed within a few hours.
• Elective: Elective surgery can be delayed for a longer period of time.

When a surgeon fails to provide adequate treatment to a patient and they suffer injury or a substantial loss of income, the surgeon or medical institution can be sued for surgical malpractice.  Any time a surgeon fails to exercise the same degree of care that another surgeon would in a similar circumstance, it raises a red flag that surgical malpractice has occurred.  Patients who go into surgery do so with the understanding that they will receive the best care possible and they place their lives into the hands of professionals who they trust.  When surgical injury occurs, the patient-caregiver trust is breeched and severe injuries or long-lasting consequences can result.
