The majority of spinal cord injuries resulting from medical negligence are the result of inappropriate diagnosis or errors during neurosurgery. Neurosurgeons are the most highly trained of all surgical specialists. A mistake made during any part of a neurosurgical procedure can result in damage to a critical part of the brain or nerve bundles in the spinal cord.
It All Begins With the Correct Diagnosis
The neurosurgeon is responsible for every component of diagnosis and care of the patient, including radiology, MRI and diagnostic tests, preoperative care, anesthesia, the surgical team and postoperative treatment. A mistake at any point in treatment can have devastating consequences.
If you or someone in your family has suffered a spinal cord injury following a neurosurgical procedure in a hospital in Oregon or southwestern Washington, talk to an attorney at the Portland law firm of Miller & Wagner. We are recognized as the region’s leading medical malpractice litigation firm.
