Misdiagnosis & Surgical Errors

Introduction.  Have you or a loved one suffered loss, harm, pain and suffering, or untimely death as a result of misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or other medical mistakes?  We can help.  The medical malpractice attorneys at Robert B. Sykes & Associates, P.C. have extensive trial experience and have over 30 years of experience in Utah helping victims of this type of medical malpractice.

Misdiagnosis.  In some cases, even missing the proper diagnosis by a day or two may mean the difference between a full recovery and irrevocable misery.  Misdiagnosis can include:

• certain types of cancer
• meningitis
• strokes
• blood clots
• tumors
• aneurism
• many others

A misdiagnosis of any of the above may cause the patient to lose the crucial window of opportunity during which treatment can bring about a good medical outcome, and may result in serious consequences, including death.

Surgical Errors.  Surgical injury may be the result of a poorly trained surgeon or inattentive surgeon.  Even simple surgery can end in serious injury or death if a medical professional is careless, impatient, or inadequately prepared.  We have represented clients in lawsuits involving many surgical errors, including:

• Scalpel slips
• Surgical instruments, gauze, or other items not removed
• Wrong surgery
• Anesthesia overdose
• Removing the improper limb or breast
• Performing unnecessary surgery
• Cosmetic surgery errors
• Other surgery errors

We are committed to ensuring that doctors and other health care providers are held accountable for serious surgical errors, and to getting you the outcome you deserve.

Results.  Robert B. Sykes & Associates, P.C. has a proven track record against insurance companies that defend negligent doctors and hospitals.  We are willing and able to take cases to trial, and the insurance companies know it.  We have obtained many six and seven figure results on behalf of our clients.
