Postoperative Care Malpractice
The minutes and hours after surgery prove crucial to the health of the patient. When physicians and other medical professionals fail to provide adequate care during postoperative recovery, patients can suffer severe complications and even wrongful death.

At Jacobs & Jacobs, we handle a wide range of medical malpractice lawsuits, including those involving postoperative care errors. Our lawyers will work with you personally to help you recover full and fair compensation for the losses you have suffered.

Doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and other medical professionals are responsible for monitoring a patient after surgery, and take appropriate action when necessary. Special circumstances such as a patient’s medical history must also be taken into account, as they may affect elements of the patient’s postoperative care.

Post-op care errors include:

  • Failure to recognize and treat infections
  • Medication errors
  • Untreated infections
  • Failure to stop excessive bleeding
  • Failure to monitor vital signs
  • Anesthesia errors

Our lawyers have the skill and resources to uncover the facts in postoperative care malpractice cases and to create compelling cases for our clients. If you or a loved one have been injured due to a post-op error, we are here to advocate on your behalf.

You are welcome to call 866-668-7179 or e-mail our law firm to talk about your postoperative care error case or a loved one’s wrongful death. If you cannot come to the office, we will come to your hospital room or home. We want  to help you and your family through this.
