Retained Objects From Surgery

A shocking, but not so uncommon surgical error is to leave foreign objects like sponges, gauze, needles and even surgical instruments and towels inside the patient. The result can be catastrophic to the patient. Foreign objects left in the body can lead to life threatening infections, bowel perforations, organ damage, and severe pain. Even in the best case scenario the patient is usually subjected to the physical and emotional tolls of otherwise unnecessary surgery, hospitalizations, unsightly scars, and additional expenses. If you or a loved one has been a victim of a retained foreign object, you are invited to contact us to discuss your legal rights.

When someone you love has passed away, it can be hard to assume responsibility for tying up all the loose ends of their estate. When the loved one passes away without leaving a will, the personal representative’s task can be overwhelming. The personal representative is in charge of notifying the estate’s creditors, deciding which claims against the estate are valid, and creating inventories and final reports for the court to account for all the property of the deceased. If you have been named a “personal representative” for a loved one’s estate and feel that you need help during the probate process, Miner Lemon & Walston would be glad to put our expertise to work for you.
