Complications

Avoidable complications that arise from negligence on the part of doctors and medical staff are a leading cause of thousands of injuries in Texas every year. Complications can be caused by oversight, failure to diagnose, medication errors, or inattentive staff. Modern healthcare providers have both the tools and the training to avoid these complications. When they fail to act accordingly, they may be held responsible for all injuries you might sustain.

Medical complications can occur during emergency room visits, planned surgeries, and even during routine medical checkups. Some of these complications may result in minor injuries that go unnoticed. All too often, however, they result in serious injuries, including:

1. Brain injuries
2. Removal of the wrong organ
3. Internal bleeding
4. Infection
5. Disfigurement
6. Death

You place your full trust in medical professionals to give you the best care available. The McAllen medical malpractice attorneys at Guerra & Moore are here to help you recover your damages when doctors and other healthcare professionals fail to do so.

Causes of Medical Complications

The leading cause of medical complications is rushing to diagnose an illness or condition. Doctors who are stretched too thin and hospitals that are understaffed may lead to split-second decisions that are ultimately harmful. These include rushing to surgery or simply prescribing a medication may seem like a good idea to doctors who feel pressured to fix a problem. But this type of thoughtless action can result in terrible complications, additional medical expenses, and increased time away from family and work.

In other instances, doctors may not fully listen to a patient. By ignoring your concerns or not believing your symptoms, your doctor puts you at greater risk for future complications.
