Surgical Error Attorneys in Florida: How Nance Cacciatore Protects Your Rights After a Medical Mistake
Surgery is a leap of faith. You trust your surgeon and their team to care for you, fix what’s wrong, and help you get back to living your life. But what happens when that trust is broken? Unfortunately, surgical errors can lead to life-altering consequences, from additional procedures to long-term injuries—or worse.
At Nance Cacciatore, we understand how devastating these mistakes can be. Since 1963, we’ve been standing up for Floridians harmed by medical negligence, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights are protected. Let’s talk about what surgical errors are, how they impact patients, and why we’re the team you want in your corner.
What Are Surgical Errors?
Surgical errors aren’t just mistakes—they’re preventable. These errors occur when medical professionals fail to meet the standard of care expected in their field, often leading to serious harm.
Here are some common examples:
- Operating on the wrong body part: A devastating error that can leave the original problem unresolved.
- Leaving tools or sponges inside the patient: This can lead to infections and additional surgeries.
- Failing to monitor vital signs: Patients can suffer from strokes, cardiac events, or other complications during surgery.
- Nicking an organ or artery: Even a minor slip can have life-threatening consequences.
- Blood transfusion errors: Receiving the wrong blood type can lead to severe reactions or death.
The effects of these errors are more than physical—they’re emotional, financial, and often life-changing.
