We Handle All Types of Surgical Error Claims
At Sokol & Foster, P.C., our attorneys have extensive experience handling all types of claims involving surgeon negligence, including:
- Wrong site surgery or surgery on the wrong part of the body

There can be any number of reasons why surgical errors occur.
