Surgical Accidents generally involve the negligence of a hospital or surgeon or sometimes both. These cases are often some of the hardest cases that Plaintiff’s attorneys work on due to how hard they are defended by the hospital or insurance company for the surgeon. You need to find a law firm that specialize in this area of law not just a personal injury attorney with no experience. At Lampert & Walsh, LLC we have been working on surgical accident and malpractice cases ever since the firm was established. Mr. Brian Lampert has been an attorney for over 35 years and has spent much of his practice doing surgical accident and medical malpractice cases in the State of Colorado.

Hospitals and surgeons rarely admit when they are wrong or if they have wronged a patient. The patient is usually sick, injured, or seeking help and advice of a medical professional or surgeon. When the hospital or surgeon end up injuring a patient due to a surgical accident, the patient is left feeling betrayed and hurt, both emotionally and physically. Patients will often blame themselves and wonder if they should even pursue an action against a hospital or surgeon when all they were trying to do was “help”.

While surgical accidents do happen, there are some surgical accidents that fall below the standard of care in the State of Colorado. It is those types of surgical accidents that require action on the part of the patient to protect their rights. You need to find a law firm that has experience in regard to representing patients injured as a result of a surgical accident or malpractice.

Generally, these types of case have a statute of limitations of 2 years and a law suit must be filed from the date the surgical accident took place. There are some exceptions to this rule that may be applicable to your specific case. However, given the complexity of these cases, it is generally better to retain a law firm as soon as you think you may want to bring an action against a hospital, hospital staff, doctors, nurse, physicians, surgeon or other medical provider. These surgical accident cases generally require that a medical professional “review” the medical records and conduct of the hospital and/or surgeon to establish if the care and treatment was below the standard of care in the State of Colorado. It generally takes time for any law firm to gather the medical records, review the content of those records, obtain any incident reports from the hospital or medical facility, and have an expert review those records and reports. This review process helps establish the “basis” and theory for the case and can usually give the patient a better understanding of the surgical accident being alleged.
