Surgical Injuries
Excellent Legal Representation Is Absolutely Essential
Achieve Justice
Surgeons who act negligently and cause harm to their patients should face consequences for their actions. Hiring dedicated malpractice lawyers like the team at Zucker & Regev, P.C. can ensure that the responsible medical professionals are held accountable.
Focus on Recovery
A surgical mistake can cause serious complications. Often, surgical errors exacerbate the condition that surgery was supposed to correct, or they introduce new health concerns. After a surgical error, you should focus on recovery and let a medical malpractice lawyer take care of the legal issues.
Collect Compensation
In all likelihood, you were already prepared to pay a significant amount for your initial surgery. Now, because of medical malpractice, you have additional medical bills, in addition to increased time away from work, emotional trauma, and other hardships. Our malpractice lawyers will commit their full attention to your case so you can collect the compensation you deserve.
Gary Zucker Explains Bowel Perforation Injuries
Bowel perforations are a distressingly common surgical complication. A bowel perforation often occurs when a surgeon has to separate internal structures in the abdomen and does so without proper attention to detail. At Zucker & Regev, P.C., our lawyers represent men and women who have suffered bowel perforations.
