Surgical Malpractice Lawyer in Pennsylvania & New Jersey

Surgery carries risks—but when mistakes are preventable, we help patients hold providers accountable.

When a Surgical Mistake Becomes a Legal Case

Most surgeries involve known risks—but not all bad outcomes are unavoidable. When a surgeon, anesthesiologist, or hospital staff member makes a preventable error, the results can be life-altering. If you’ve suffered serious harm because of a surgical mistake in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, we’ll help you determine whether it was malpractice—and what to do next.

Common Types of Surgical Errors

Surgical malpractice can happen before, during, or after the procedure. Some of the most serious issues we handle include:

  • Operating on the wrong body part or patient
  • Leaving surgical tools or sponges inside the body
  • Anesthesia overdoses or failures
  • Cutting or damaging internal organs
  • Inadequate sterilization leading to infection
  • Delayed diagnosis of post-op complications

We consult medical experts and surgeons to determine whether your care fell below the standard.

Consequences of Surgical Negligence

Even a single error in the OR can lead to months—or years—of additional treatment. We help clients recover for:


  • Additional surgeries or hospital stays
  • Infections or internal bleeding
  • Long-term disability or chronic pain
  • Disfigurement or mobility loss
  • Emotional distress and loss of quality of life
  • Lost income or wrongful death (when applicable)



We build strong cases backed by evidence, expert review, and focused legal strategy.

Injured by a Surgical Mistake in Pennsylvania or New Jersey?

Start with answers, not confusion.

  • How can I tell if my poor surgical outcome was malpractice?

    Not every surgical complication is malpractice. But if your harm was caused by a preventable error—like operating on the wrong site, leaving tools inside you, or failing to recognize post-op complications—you may have a case. We work with medical experts to help determine whether the surgeon or hospital breached the standard of care.

  • What should I do if I think something went wrong during my surgery?

    Start by getting a second opinion and requesting all your medical records. Then contact a qualified medical malpractice attorney. We’ll review your records and consult experts to determine what really happened—and whether you have a valid legal claim.

  • Can I sue the hospital or only the surgeon?

    It depends. If hospital staff, nurses, or systems contributed to the mistake (such as improper sterilization or poor monitoring), the hospital may also be liable. We investigate all responsible parties, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and hospital administrators.

  • How long do I have to file a surgical malpractice claim?

    In both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury. There are some exceptions, so it’s best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your rights.

  • What does it cost to hire you?

    There’s no upfront cost. We work on contingency, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. Your consultation is free, and you’ll talk directly with a lawyer who understands surgical malpractice law in PA and NJ.
