Patients undergoing surgery have the right to expect care that meets accepted medical standards. When a surgeon, hospital, or surgical team causes preventable harm, our Tucson medical malpractice attorneys can investigate what happened and determine who may be responsible.
Surgical mistakes involving uncontrolled bleeding can result in severe blood loss, organ damage, anemia, additional surgery, or death. If you or a family member was harmed, call the Mercaldo Law Firm at (520) 624-1400 or contact us online for a free consultation.

The Joint Commission recognizes wrong-site, wrong-procedure, and wrong-patient surgery as serious sentinel events. Research available through the National Institutes of Health also discusses how surgical blood loss and continued postoperative bleeding can contribute to anemia and other complications.
Surgical mistake cases we handle, many involving excessive blood loss, include:
- Nicked organs
- Nerve damage
- Wrong-site surgery
- Amputation error
- Instruments left inside a patient
- Improper postoperative care causing pulmonary embolism

We work hard for the compensation you deserve, so that your lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering are recognized.
Being admitted for surgery in an Arizona or San Diego hospital means that you completely place your trust in the hands of a trained, licensed surgeon. One who is negligent should be held responsible for errors that diminish your quality of life or end the life of a loved one.
