You need not file a lawsuit straightaway against the surgeon. If there is clear evidence that an error has been made, then the insurance company may offer you a settlement figure. If the money compensates you for additional expenses incurred, wages lost, and the pain and suffering you’ve endured, your lawyer may advise you to take it. If the figure is too low and the insurance company refuses to budge, then you may have to file suit.
Surgical errors are preventable. They occur for a variety of reasons, including poor communication among the medical team, undertrained physicians, fatigue, inattention, and poor operating room conditions. Your lawyer will launch their own investigations into the surgery and the individuals involved in it. They will get to the bottom of why things went wrong. They will then use these facts to compel the insurance company to offer you a just and adequate compensation figure.
