Tallahassee Surgical Error Attorney

Why Choose Us?

Choosing the right law firm after a surgical error can impact your outcome. At Perry & Young, our dual-attorney team model ensures clients always have two lawyers assigned to each case. This approach gives you greater continuity and responsive support. It also means someone is always available to answer questions, provide updates, or take immediate action if required.

Our investigative backgrounds set us apart. Our founding partners have years of experience preserving evidence and analyzing complex incidents. These investigative skills are critical in malpractice claims, where documentation and timing in places like Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare or HCA Florida Capital Hospital matter. We work closely with you to capture crucial evidence so nothing is lost or overlooked during the process.

In addition, our staff includes a former insurance agent and experienced case nurses, bringing insight into both how insurers approach medical claims and how hospitals address internal incidents. This internal knowledge helps us build effective strategies and anticipate challenges specific to surgical error cases. Our focus on clear, ongoing communication ensures you know what is happening from the moment you contact us until your case resolves.

Understanding Surgical Errors & Medical Mistakes

Surgical mistakes can occur in many ways, but the most severe cases involve wrong-site surgeries, wrong medical procedures, and surgeon errors. Patients trust their medical team with critical health decisions, and errors like these often have permanent consequences. In Tallahassee hospitals, these events sometimes result from miscommunication between staff, procedural oversights, or failures in pre-operative planning.

It is important to note that not every poor outcome is caused by malpractice. However, when you experience a wrong surgery site, an incorrect procedure, or negligence during your operation, legal action may be warranted. We review all aspects of your experience, including the records and processes at Tallahassee facilities, to determine if your case meets Florida’s definition of malpractice. If we believe you have a claim, we work with medical professionals and investigators to collect evidence and develop a plan for moving forward.

Common Types of Surgical Errors

The most serious surgical errors often include:

• Wrong-site surgery (operating on the wrong part of the body)
• The wrong medical procedure was performed
• Surgeon malpractice (technical mistakes, poor judgment)
• Failure to follow correct safety protocols
• Retention of surgical instruments or sponges

When you work with our team, we help you understand where things may have gone wrong. Our experience as a surgical error attorney in Tallahassee includes evaluating all documentation and holding all responsible parties accountable for harm caused.
