Orthopedic Injuries

Orthopedic injuries are painful injuries that can keep you out of work, and jeopardize your ability to earn money and take care of yourself and your loved ones. These injuries can affect your arms, legs, fingers, toes, elbows, wrists, shoulders, knees, hips, feet, ankles, neck, back, and spine. You may need to undergo surgery for your orthopedic injury. However, not all surgeries go according to plan. While there are risks involved with any surgery, sometimes mistakes are made—and those errors can have devastating outcomes. Some common types of orthopedic-related medical malpractice claims can include:

  • Failure to appropriately treat fractures
  • Complications resulting from replacement surgeries
  • Loss of a limb
  • Complications from knee surgeries and arthroscopic surgery
  • Development of blood clots after surgery
  • Injuries to vessels during surgery
  • Nerve damage or nerve injury during surgery

Mistakes made during surgery are unacceptable. They are much harder to understand, especially when those mistakes affect your well-being or the well-being of a loved one. Feelings of frustration and helplessness are common. At the Shelnutt Law Firm, our experienced lawyers take every case very seriously. We are dedicated to your claim and will fight to recover the damages you deserve. If you or a loved one lives in the Gadsden area and has been seriously injured or killed an accident, please contact our offices today.
