Presenting Your Claim for Massachusetts Surgical Negligence
Any surgical procedure presents the risk of an unfortunate medical outcome for the patient. The informed consent process gives the patient a good idea of the more common risks of an operation, but offers no assurance that the surgical team will take the necessary steps to protect against them.

Our lawyers collaborate with outstanding surgeons and teaching physicians to pinpoint the causes of a surgical injury and show how the negligence of one or more members of the operating team led to a death or serious complication. Through our interaction with medical experts, we can develop highly reliable opinions on the key issues of fact that will need to be resolved in your medical malpractice lawsuit.
These issues might involve any number of questions: Did the surgeon overlook indications of heightened risk? Did the surgeon use due care in making incisions or avoiding damage to adjacent tissues? Was the patient adequately advised of the risks of surgery and the alternatives to surgery? Did the anesthesiologist pay close attention to vital signs and monitor data? Did nursing staff take proper precautions against infection?
Issues like these are usually matters of expert opinion, and our skill in malpractice litigation allows us to present the medical opinions supporting your right to compensation in clear and persuasive terms. We handle liability claims related to surgical mistakes of all kinds, including:
- Anesthesia errors
- Conventional or laparoscopic cutting errors
- Operations performed on the wrong body part or wrong side
- Surgical birth injuries
- Laceration or puncturing injuries on vital organs
- Postoperative negligence in patient care
