Surgeons are highly trained individuals with years of medical experience. However, they are only human and they can often make mistakes that have devastating consequences. A relatively common complication during surgery occurs when the surgeon makes unnecessary or sloppy incisions. This can result in the perforation of an organ, artery, or other tissue, resulting in excessive bleeding or damage to the organ or an improper incision (a surgical cut that is too deep, too long, at the wrong location, etc.). These can lead to pain, infection, the need for further surgical intervention, and even death. In order to receive the best compensation for your suffering, you need an attorney that is knowledgeable and experienced in cases involving surgical error.

The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the amount of $2.25 million. R. S. and B. R.l v. Gady Har-El, M.D.
