Why LASIK Surgery Malpractice Lawsuits Are On The Rise
A Disturbing Rise in Malpractice Lawsuits Stemming From Eye and LASIK Correction Surgeries
Insurance companies might have you believe that the rise of medical malpractice lawsuits against eye surgeons is because attorneys are lawsuit happy. The truth is that vision correction surgery is a lucrative business. Lawsuits have risen in number only in response to the increasing number of unqualified doctors who attempt to perform delicate surgeries. Another reason is that many eye surgery centers are run like businesses. They attempt to sell services to people who are not good candidates for surgery. They make their money by performing a high number of surgeries per day — far more than is considered safe by many reputable opthamologists.
We understand that the impact of a botched eye operation can have a devastating impact on your employment, your family, your favorite activities and your mental health. We aggressively pursue compensation from the doctors and clinics whose negligence and greed left you in bad shape.
The rising popularity of laser surgery and the increase in the number of eye care centers across the United States has led to more cases of LASIK and other surgery malpractice lawsuits including lawsuits due to adverse outcomes from bad cataract surgery and cornea transplants.
Eye Surgeons Are Accountable to their Patients
All medical professionals are responsible for the health of their patients. If they make a bad decision or human error that results in harm to your health or well-being they can be held accountable for paying for the cost of additional or corrective procedures and treatment, including paying for you to have corrective surgery from another doctor.
Doctors who are found to be negligent may also be sued for damages to help pay for lost wages, emotional distress and ongoing pain and suffering from vision loss or related complications of surgery.
