Representing the Victims of Surgical Errors in Eugene, Oregon
We've all heard horror stories of patients who have awoken from surgery with clamps, scissors, sponges or other surgical implements inside them. Sadly, these and surgical errors continue to happen in our hospitals in spite of improved procedures to manage operating rooms and additional personnel being in place to account for surgical implements before the patients' incisions are closed.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to a surgical error, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case. You may be entitled to compensation for the damages you have suffered.
The following are examples of surgical errors:

- Damaging a client's spinal cord during back surgery, resulting in full or partial paralysis
- Anesthesia errors, such as failure to maintain blood pressure during surgery or administering a medication to which the patient is allergic
- Nicking the bladder, intestines, colon or other organs during surgery. Failure to monitor a patient for post-surgical complications like infection or blood clots
- Nerve damage from accidentally cutting them during delicate nervous system or vascular surgeries
- Errors during eye surgery that result in blindness or impaired vision
