When Orthopedic Surgery Mistakes Go Undetected
Doctors, nurses and hospitals do make mistakes. Often, these mistakes are detected early and can be corrected, either by a change in medication or by another surgery. Patients are often left shaken, but their health is intact.
It is when medical negligence goes undetected that more serious consequences occur. These include life-changing injuries, like paralysis and wrongful death. And it is in the situations that we take aggressive legal action on your behalf. At the Charlotte law firm of DeVore, Acton & Stafford, PA, attorney Troy Stafford holds surgeons accountable for orthopedic malpractice and other kinds of medical negligence committed in North Carolina.
