After a Serious Injury Caused By a Surgical Error, Contact an Experienced Attorney
Rischmiller & Knippel LLP in Minneapolis Takes Cases to Trial
Some types of surgical errors are so obvious that there can be no reasonable argument opposing fair compensation for the victim:
- Surgery was performed on the wrong side where there are symmetrical body parts: the wrong breast, the wrong testicle, the wrong kidney, the wrong eye, the wrong ear, the wrong hand, arm, foot or leg. In some cases, the loss is devastating as the person loses not only the bad breast or kidney but also the good one. Someone who loses both kidneys will most likely be on dialysis for the rest of his life.
- A foreign object was left in, and sewn in, the body during surgery. A patient may experience pain, and an X-ray will reveal a cutting instrument, a sponge or a clamp still in the body.
Rischmiller & Knippel, LL P has handled both types of "obvious" surgical error cases. We have also represented clients in more controversial or subtle surgical error cases which required us to go to court.
In fact, we consider it one of our law firm's outstanding characteristics that we don't just say that we prepare every case as if for trial — we really do. And we very often do go to court.
