New York Surgical Malpractice Attorney

You trusted your surgeon with your health. When that trust is broken, we’ll stand by your side and fight for accountability.

Holding surgeons accountable for preventable errors

Surgery is always serious, but patients have a right to expect that their doctors will follow the highest standards of care. When those standards are ignored, the results can be devastating. Mason Law PLLC represents victims of surgical negligence across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Lower Manhattan, helping families pursue justice when a preventable surgical error causes harm. As part of our broader medical malpractice practice, we handle cases ranging from anesthesia mistakes to catastrophic operating room errors.

Examples of surgical errors

Some of the most common—and preventable—forms of surgical malpractice include:

• Wrong-site or wrong-patient surgery
  
• Anesthesia errors such as improper dosage or failure to monitor oxygen levels
  
• Retained surgical items like sponges or instruments left inside the body
  
• Nerve or organ damage caused by poor technique
  
• Infections from unsanitary conditions or improper sterilization
  
• Unnecessary surgery performed without medical justification
  
  

Each of these mistakes is a breach of trust that can lead to lasting injury or even death.

Families endure not just physical suffering but financial strain from medical bills and lost wages. Mason Law PLLC works to ensure victims are compensated for the full extent of these losses.

Consequences of surgical negligence

 The impact of a surgical error often extends far beyond the operating room. Patients may face:\

• Corrective or revision surgeries
• Severe infections, including sepsis
• Permanent disability or chronic pain
• Emotional trauma and loss of trust in medical providers
• Wrongful death in the most tragic cases
  

Proving a surgical malpractice case

To hold providers accountable, it must be shown that the surgeon or surgical team deviated from the accepted standard of care. Mason Law PLLC builds these cases by:



• Collecting medical records and surgical reports
  
• Consulting independent medical experts
  
• Identifying clear deviations from procedure or protocol
  
• Using evidence such as x-rays showing retained objects or lab results proving infection sources
  
  

Our goal is to demonstrate not just that harm occurred, but that it was preventable and caused by negligence.

Mason Law’s experience in complex medical litigation

With more than 20 years in practice, Mason Law PLLC has handled challenging malpractice cases across New York. Christopher Mason’s background, including experience on the defense side, means we know how hospitals and their insurers approach these cases—and how to counter those tactics effectively. Whether the negligence occurred in a Manhattan hospital, a Brooklyn surgical center, or another New York medical facility, we are prepared to pursue justice.

Hospital liability for surgical errors

In many cases, the hospital or surgical center is just as responsible as the surgeon. If the doctor was an employee, if staff were negligent in pre- or post-op care, or if systemic failures created unsafe conditions, the facility itself may be liable. Mason Law PLLC investigates every angle to hold all responsible parties accountable.
