When we go into surgery, we expect to come out healthier, maybe even cured. Unfortunately for many people, though, a surgical error turns into a medical nightmare and chronic pain. When a surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical nurse, or other medical professional fails to meet the accepted standard of care, the results cause severe patient harm and can sometimes be fatal. Our Mansfield, OH surgical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options after a botched procedure, surgical error, or incorrectly administered anesthesia. Call Mishkind Kulwicki Law Co., L.P.A. today for a consultation.
Surgical Malpractice Lawyer Mansfield OH
Surgeons and surgical teams are held to strict standards of care set by state medical boards and the American Medical Association (AMA). It’s expected that they will perform the correct procedure on the right body part, ensure medications (including anesthesia) are properly administered, and maintain stringent standards for cleanliness and sanitation to avoid infection. When a surgical professional fails to meet these standards, such as leaving instruments inside a patient, operating on the wrong area, or causing preventable complications, they can be held liable for malpractice.
We know that you’re scared and in pain right now. You may even need another procedure to correct the malpractice injury, but if you’re like many of our clients, the thought of going under the knife again is terrifying. Our Mansfield surgical malpractice lawyer pursues justice on your behalf, seeking fair compensation not just for your material losses and medical bills, but also for your pain, suffering, and emotional trauma. We also pursue full compensation for all medical care you need, including corrective procedures, follow-up treatment, and medications.
Surgical malpractice can take many forms, and we litigate them all. Errors during surgery, birth injuries, anesthesia mistakes, or avoidable post-operative infections can cause long-term pain, disability, and permanent harm. Misdiagnoses often lead to unnecessary or delayed surgeries, which are also common, and the patient may miss a valuable window of early treatment with a higher success rate.
Our attorneys have considerable legal and medical knowledge, so we can successfully build a compelling case against the medical professional and the hospital where you received the surgery. We hold all parties accountable for the harm they caused you, so you can get justice and the means for better care in the future.

Posted on Kristen Kochendoerfer I reached out to this law firm after a work-related injury and was fortunate to speak with Dave. He was incredibly kind and helpful-he took the time to walk me through what I was dealing with and explained things clearly. Although his firm doesn’t handle cases exactly like mine, he didn’t just send me away. Instead, he connected me with trusted firms and resources that could help. It genuinely felt like talking to a family member who cared and wanted to make sure I was in good hands. I’m so grateful for the guidance and support.Posted on Bram Stockbauer I recently had a phone consultation with Mr. Kulwicki to cover a few questions I had related to medical malpractice cases.

From the start, David was kind, calm, and very easy to understand. He didn’t use complicated legal terms or talk over my head. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood what the process could look like. There was no pressure and I never felt dismissed. He walked me through what the standard of care SHOULD have been when it comes to prostate screening, and helped me understand how this situation might meet the criteria for a potential malpractice claim. I also appreciated that his firm has nurses on staff to review the case based on the medical records. This is such a heavy, emotional situation for my entire family, but talking to David gave me clarity and a sense of direction. I’ll be sharing everything I learned with my loved ones, and I’m really grateful for the time, care, and honesty David gave me during our consultation.
