Depending on the nature of the case, a patient may be able to sue a surgeon if the surgery causes chronic health issues. The patient may hire a lawyer to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, after demonstrating the surgeon’s deviation from the accepted standard of care, and how it proved to be a direct cause of their chronic health issues. The patient would need to demonstrate that the surgeon’s negligence was the direct cause of their chronic health issues to pursue a successful medical malpractice claim. It is advisable to seek legal advice from a qualified attorney in your area.
