As a result of the smaller pouch, only a small amount of food can be consumed, and the bypassed intestine absorbs fewer calories. The bypass also alters the signals that travel from the stomach to the brain, resulting in impressive weight loss and control of health issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, bariatric surgery introduces new risks when reshaping the stomach, such as leaks that can lead to sepsis. This may be the result of\u00a0<\/span>medical malpractice<\/a>, and your doctor should be held accountable. If you have been injured due to gastric bypass errors, the\u00a0<\/span>New York medical malpractice attorneys<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>at Curan & Ahlers may be able to assist you.<\/span><\/p>\n Bariatric surgery has risks from complications, unsuitable patients, and even medical malpractice. Some causes of malpractice stem from surgical errors, a failure to diagnose or treat complications, and other forms of negligence. Due to doctor negligence, some bariatric operations can result in serious injury or death. Gastric bypass patients may need to pursue a\u00a0<\/span>medical malpractice lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>if a doctor\u2019s negligence caused their harm.<\/span><\/p>\n In other malpractice cases, doctors offer this treatment without properly advising patients of the risks. Gastric bypass and other bariatric operations can help with weight loss, but they can also cause gastritis, intestinal blockages, hemorrhage, bleeding, anastomotic ulcers, strictures, and hernias. Bacterial contamination during or after surgery may also lead to severe, fast-developing infections.<\/span><\/p>\n Common surgical errors include failing to diagnose or manage gastric bleeding, leakage of gastric fluid into the abdominal cavity, peritonitis, pulmonary embolism, internal hernia, or poor post-operative monitoring.\u00a0<\/span>Medical malpractice<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care\u2014whether due to negligence, inexperience, or systemic hospital failures.<\/span><\/p>\n If it is likely, you can recover compensatory damages for your provider\u2019s failure to meet the professional standard of care\u2014including breach, causation, and resulting harm. Because these cases can be complex and fact-specific, it\u2019s essential to hire a lawyer who can thoroughly investigate your claim. Your attorney should also consult with at least one doctor licensed to practice in New York or another state to support your case.<\/span><\/p>\n A complicated set of rules governs\u00a0<\/span>medical malpractice<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>law in New York. The injured patient carries the burden of proof in any successful claim, which is why having an experienced gastric bypass medical malpractice lawyer on your side is so important.<\/span><\/p>\n Often, people are not aware of the applicable laws, or they lack the time or resources to learn the elements that must be demonstrated to establish a case. A bariatric surgery lawyer can launch an investigation to help build your case. An attorney will be able to guide you through the process of proving a claim for bariatric surgery malpractice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, an attorney may also advocate on your behalf for relief in the form of legal damages, to which you may be entitled. They can also negotiate with your insurance company to ensure you get what you are entitled to without denied claims and excessive wait times. Because these claims have time limits, it is best to contact an attorney as soon as possible so that you have the best chance of receiving the compensation to which you may be entitled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Curan & Ahlers is prepared to fight for you if you\u2019ve been injured during bariatric surgery or in the recovery process. With over 35 years of experience in medical malpractice law, our firm has helped countless clients secure the compensation they deserve. We offer free consultations and charge no fees unless we win, allowing you to focus on healing while we focus on justice.<\/span><\/p>\n When you’ve suffered due to a medical provider\u2019s negligence, you may not have the energy\u2014or resources\u2014to stand up to the hospital or surgical team responsible. Whether your case involves an individual provider or a facility-wide failure, an experienced\u00a0<\/span>medical malpractice attorney in New York<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>can guide you through every step of the legal process.<\/span><\/p>\n Call\u00a0<\/span>Curan & Ahlers<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>today to determine if you have a case against your bariatric surgeon or their team.
