Heart and Cardiac Surgery Malpractice Cases in Los Angeles

The number one reason for death of Americans is heart disease.

Heart surgeries are very sensitive operations and must be treated as such. If the procedures are not conducted perfectly, disaster can ensue. Some of the serious injuries that can be caused are as follows:

• Hematomas: Failing to apply the correct amount of pressure after a catheterization often results in hematomas. These can require further surgery.
• Infection: Heart surgery carries a risk of infection. If correct procedures are not followed, or if an infection is not identified and treated, there are serious consequences.
• Tissue damage: There is a solution which should be applied to prevent tissue damage and cool the heart down. If it is not applied often enough or incorrectly, it can cause a heart attack and even wrongful death.

If you have been harmed or a loved one has died during heart surgery, Mr. Weinberg can offer you friendly and proficient legal representation. He wants to help you recover peacefully and recover the compensation that you deserve.
