Surgeon Sued for Medical Malpractice

By Steven M. Levin and John J. Perconti

A victim is suing a surgeon for negligence and medical malpractice. The victim was a patient of the general surgeon and was being treated for a gall bladder problem. The medical malpractice lawsuit complains that the surgeon performed a laparoscopic clolecystectomy on the patient that did not go as planned. The doctor clipped and divided what he thought would be a cystic duct, however it was not. The victim claims she has undergone numerous surgical procedures to correct the doctor?s error. She has incurred damages, including past and future medical expenses; past and future lost homemaker services; past and future mental and physical pain and suffering; and loss of her capacity to enjoy life.
