Surgical Errors Lawyer in Miami

Every surgery carries risk — but when a surgeon operates on the wrong body part, leaves an instrument inside a patient, or administers anesthesia negligently, that is not a known complication. That is malpractice, and the consequences can be permanent.

Types of Surgical Errors

We handle cases involving wrong-site, wrong-procedure, or wrong-patient surgery, surgical instruments or sponges left inside the body, anesthesia errors causing brain injury or death, severed nerves, blood vessels, or organs, post-operative infections from unsanitary technique, and failure to monitor patients properly during recovery.

Why These Cases Are Strong — and Complex

Some surgical errors, like wrong-site surgery, are considered “never events” — they should never happen when standard safety protocols (surgical time-outs, site marking, instrument counts) are followed. But hospitals and surgeons rarely admit fault. Proving the case requires operative reports, anesthesia records, expert surgical testimony, and often a battle against well-funded defense teams.

Florida’s Chapter 766 Pre-Suit Process

Before filing suit, Florida law requires a Notice of Intent to each prospective defendant, a 90-day pre-suit period, and a verified medical expert opinion from a qualified surgeon or relevant specialist. These requirements are technical and unforgiving — an experienced malpractice attorney is essential from day one.

Act Quickly: Deadlines Are Short

Florida’s medical malpractice statute of limitations is generally two years from discovery of the injury, capped at four years in most cases. Because hospitals may alter or lose records over time, early investigation protects your claim.
