Surgeries require extensive training, skill, and careful technique, especially when it involves children. All pediatric surgeries come with some degree of risk, but when a medical professional is negligent in their actions, the result can be devastating, and even deadly.

Types of Pediatric Surgical Errors

Surgeries are a delicate process that requires the cooperation and communication of a full staff of medical professionals. When there is a breakdown in this process it can lead to serious injuries. Common types of pediatric surgical errors include:

  • Surgery on the wrong site
  • Incorrect surgical procedures
  • Improper suturing
  • Contaminated surgical instruments
  • Post-surgical infections
  • Improperly treated complications
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Medication errors

Legal Liability in Pediatric Surgical Errors

Because a team of medical professionals will typically be involved in a surgical procedure, the actions or inactions of any member of the medical staff that was involved could be responsible for a child’s injuries. This can also include the hospital or other entity that employs the doctors and nurses, as well.

Each medical malpractice case will be unique and case specific, and these cases are typically some of the most complex to prove. As such, Illinois has very specific requirements in place for a plaintiff to pursue a medical malpractice case, which an experienced personal lawyer can review with you.
