Every surgery carries with it an expected benefit, as well as the possibility of recognized side effects or complications, which vary according to the specific procedure and are accepted as part of the risk of surgery. If you or a loved one has suffered due to serious complications either caused or exacerbated by surgical error, however, you deserve compensation for the suffering that was never part of the bargain.
