My name is Dina Zalewski and I’m a medical malpractice attorney here at Sommers Schwartz. Having surgery is something that most of us will need to do at some point in our lives, and when that point in time arises, you or your loved one will be putting your trust and your faith in a surgeon to help care for you. Unfortunately, there are risks involved with all surgeries, even the ones that are supposed to be simple and easy.

And just because something goes poorly at the time of your surgery does not necessarily mean that it was caused by a surgeon’s medical negligence. But there are times when something goes wrong during a surgery and it is because a doctor did something wrong. The problem is most of us don’t have the medical knowledge, training, or experience to know when the poor outcome was caused by medical negligence. That’s why it’s really important to have your case reviewed by a competent medical professional .
