New Jersey Improper Suturing Lawyers

In order to close an open would or incision on the skin, doctors perform the technique of suturing. This is done to help heal the skin, organs, blood vessels, or other affected bodily tissue. Sometimes suturing is done following a surgical procedure, but other times it is done to heal a deep cut that the patient has sustained on his or her own. In either case, the process of suturing must be done with the utmost care in order to avoid potentially serious complications.

Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals have a responsibility to provide a reasonable standard of patient care. This includes performing proper suturing techniques. When they fail to meet this responsibility, medical malpractice may have occurred and you may be able to bring the negligent party to court in order to gain financial compensation for your claim. To learn more about suturing errors and your rights as an injured patient, contact the New Jersey improper suturing lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529.

Dangerous Consequences of Improper Suturing

Complications related to improper suturing include the following:

  • Incomplete or improper healing afterward
  • Harmful amounts of blood loss
  • Infections
  • Scarring or formation of scar tissue
  • Suture-related disability

Other adverse effects may arise if a doctor uses the wrong kind of sutures for your wound.

Complications from suturing can be very serious, causing a delay in recovery or additional injuries on top of the one you are currently healing from. If you have been a victim of this form of medical malpractice, it is imperative that you seek legal representation to bring your claim to court. By employing the help of an experienced attorney, you can increase your chances of receiving a favorable outcome.
