New Jersey Post-Surgical Complication Lawyers

Surgical procedures can fix a patient’s medical condition, but patient care does not end once the surgery is complete. Patients who are not taken care of properly after surgery can experience a variety of painful and dangerous conditions. These problems, known as post-surgical complications, claim thousands of lives every year. Infected surgical sites, wounds that reopen, and heavy internal bleeding can all arise from the work of a negligent surgeon or from poor post-surgical care.

If you or someone you love has been seriously harmed because of complications arising from a surgical operation, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, losses, and suffering. To discuss your case with a compassionate New Jersey post-surgical complication lawyer, contact the attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today by calling 800-346-5529.

Types of Post-Surgical Complications

There are a variety of complications that can result from surgical procedures, often depending on the surgery in question. The most common complications include:

  • Hemorrhage
  • Shock
  • Post-operative wound infection
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Lung collapse
  • Wounds that reopen

Some post-surgical complications can arise immediately after a surgery, while others may not develop for several days. In general, however, complications are likeliest one to three days after the operation. While any post-surgical complication requires immediate medical attention, complications like internal bleeding can turn fatal very quickly.
