Connecticut Orthopedic Malpractice Attorney

Like any other type of doctor, orthopedic surgeons are vulnerable to claims of medical malpractice.

But the mere fact that an orthopedic surgery is not successful is not enough to establish a claim for orthopedic malpractice. Even if the surgeon makes a mistake, that mistake alone may not be enough to make a strong claim for orthopedic malpractice.

Instead, successful malpractice lawsuits against orthopedic surgeons must be able to prove that:

1. The orthopedic surgeon departed from the accepted standard of action or care used by other orthopedic surgeons in similar situations
2. The surgeon’s negligence caused unnecessary injury to the patient
3. The unnecessary injury was significant, either in terms of duration or severity

If you believe you may have suffered injury as a result of orthopedic malpractice, it is important to seek legal advice as early as possible.
