Even though plastic surgery is in most cases elective surgery that does not mean that your surgical team cannot be held liable in a medical malpractice claim if their negligence leads to plastic surgery errors. Your injuries from misconduct in your plastic surgery procedure should be brought to the attention of an experienced medical malpractice attorney to begin your claim.
Plastic surgery errors are no different from any other surgical errors that can result in a medical malpractice claim.
Some of the common injuries associated with plastic surgery errors include:
- anesthesia errors;
- extensive asymmetry;
- nerve damage;
- excessive scarring or disfigurement;
- infection;
- punctured organs; and
- severe internal bleeding.
A medical malpractice claim may be difficult to file for plastic surgery errors, especially if the complaint is cosmetic. Many times the defense will try to argue that the so-called error is merely the patient being unhappy with the physical results. However, an experienced medical malpractice attorney can present evidence in your case to show unacceptable scarring or disfigurement caused by negligent surgeons.
Because of the difficulty of proving a medical malpractice claim, you should have an experienced medical malpractice attorney to help you reach a settlement for your injuries. To avoid your case being dismissed as an unsatisfied customer and to make sure it is truly handled as a case of medical negligence, make sure you have every bit of legal help you can get from an experienced medical malpractice attorney.
