If you or a loved one is suffering from a bile duct injury or bowel perforation due to medical malpractice during a routine laparoscopic surgery or open surgery, suffered gallbladder damage because of Ozempic, or were injured due to a negligent surgeon, contact the San Antonio gallbladder surgery error lawyer group at Janicek Law.

Damaged arteries and bile duct injuries after gallbladder removal surgery are serious signs of medical negligence. Additionally, if the surgeon notices the patient is injured too late and the patient isn’t provided proper treatment after a gallbladder surgery error occurs, they are left with severe pain and life-threatening infections.

Our San Antonio gallbladder surgery malpractice lawyer team has extensive experience handling cases involving a surgeon accidentally cutting a patient when they remove the gallbladder. Our lawyers also have experience handling cases where surgeons remove the wrong organ.

Our San Antonio gallbladder surgery error lawyers provide a free case evaluation and operate on a contingency fee basis, so bile duct injury victims don’t owe any legal fees unless our lawyers secure a favorable settlement or verdict.

Claims our San Antonio Gallbladder Surgery Malpractice Lawyer Group Handles

Our medical malpractice lawyers in San Antonio are experienced in handling a wide range of claims related to laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. These include common bile duct injuries, bowel perforations, perforations to other arteries, cases of surgeons performing wrong site surgery, where they’ve removed the wrong organ, such as a liver, as well as cases involving unnecessary gallbladder removal surgeries where a physician unjustifiably had a patient’s gallbladder removed.

Our San Antonio gallbladder surgery error lawyers also represent patients injured after a surgeon failed to properly close the abdominal cavity after surgery.

Our gallbladder surgery error lawyers are well-versed in Ozempic gallbladder lawsuits, addressing issues where doctors ignored the risk associated with Ozempic, which later contributed to gallbladder issues.

If you’ve been injured because a doctor or surgeon operated under the accepted standard of medical care, whether during laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery or open cholecystectomy surgery, contact an experienced San Antonio gallbladder surgery error attorney at Janicek Law for a free consultation.

San Antonio Common Bile Duct Injury Claims

A common bile duct injury occurs when the bile duct, which carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine, is damaged during gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy). A bile duct injury can result in leakage, infection, and other major complications, leading to severe pain, jaundice, and digestive issues. Prompt treatment is required to repair the bile duct injury, and in some cases, patients may need additional surgeries to correct the damage.

A small cut, less than 25% of the circumference of the common bile duct or cystic duct, is considered a minor injury. In contrast, a cut greater than 25% of the common bile duct or cystic duct is considered a major injury.

While laparoscopic surgery is generally safe, bile duct injuries can happen when a surgeon operates below the accepted standard of medical care and makes a gallbladder surgery error, such as misidentifying the biliary ducts or mishandling surgical tools. These mistakes can result in common bile duct injury, leading to serious complications for the patient.

We understand the serious impact that a common bile duct injury can have on your health and quality of life. For patients who’ve suffered due to a botched gallbladder surgery, our San Antonio bile duct injury attorney group can help you pursue compensation for your pain, medical expenses, long-term treatment, and other damages related to the medical malpractice claim.

Claims for Unnecessary Gallbladder Removal Surgery in San Antonio

While gallbladder removal surgery is often necessary for patients who develop gallstones or other conditions, there is increasing concern about the number of surgeons eager to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery because it is relatively quick but expensive.

Most doctors prefer laparoscopic surgery over traditional gallbladder surgery because laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery is considered a minimally invasive procedure, only involving four small incisions in the abdomen. During laparoscopic surgery to remove the gallbladder, the surgeon inserts a laparoscope through one small cut to provide them with a view of the surgical site. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to create space, and surgical clips are used to clip and cut the cystic duct and artery, allowing the patient’s gallbladder to be removed.

Because of the ease of the standard laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, a doctor may encourage a patient to have their gallbladder removed, even when the laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery is totally unnecessary. Additionally, some surgeons have been found to take shortcuts in training, completing courses that provide a basic understanding of this specific laparoscopic surgery.

The inexperience can cause a serious gallbladder surgery error during the procedure, such as cutting arteries or damaging patients’ bile ducts. Injuries to the bile ducts or arteries create a serious risk for uncontrolled bleeding, infections, or deep vein thrombosis, which can lead to potentially fatal complications.

An unnecessary gallbladder removal surgery can cause severe health issues and, in the most tragic cases, result in wrongful death. If you or a loved one sustained a serious injury or died due to a gallbladder surgery mistake, it’s important to consult with a skilled San Antonio gallbladder surgery error lawyer. We can help you pursue justice and secure financial recovery for the harm caused by medical malpractice.

Bowel Perforation Malpractice Claims in San Antonio

Bowel perforation is a serious complication that can occur during gallbladder surgery if a surgeon accidentally punctures the bowel. This surgical error leads to the contents of the bowel leaking into the abdominal cavity, causing peritonitis, a severe inflammation of the abdominal lining.

If the surgeon notices this surgical site error too slowly, the bowel perforation can rapidly progress to sepsis, a life-threatening infection that can cause severe organ damage or death.

Bowel perforations may require a bowel resection, which can in turn, cause short bowel syndrome, a condition where the body cannot properly absorb nutrients, and may also require the use of an ostomy bag to manage waste.

When a negligent doctor causes severe complications like peritonitis, sepsis, or the need for a bowel resection, you may be entitled to compensation that covers medical expenses, lost wages, and the pain and suffering you’ve endured. Our San Antonio bowel perforations lawyer group will work to hold the responsible surgeon and their team accountable and secure the justice you deserve through a malpractice lawsuit.

Claims for Failure to Close the Abdominal Cavity

Failure to properly close the abdominal cavity after a gallbladder removal surgery is a serious surgical mistake that can cause critical or fatal injuries. If the surgeon fails to securely close the incision, it can result in complications like bowel perforation, where the intestines are damaged and leak into the abdomen. This error is concerning in both laparoscopic gallbladder surgery and open surgery, as it increases the risk of infection, internal bleeding, and other life-threatening conditions.

When such surgical error occurs, it may constitute a strong surgeon negligence case. Our team of San Antonio gallbladder surgery error lawyers can hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue financial recovery for injuries sustained.

Ozempic Gallbladder Lawsuit in San Antonio

Ozempic, a medication designed to help manage type 2 diabetes, has been associated with serious gallbladder complications, including the development of gallstones and inflammation that can require having the gallbladder removed. Despite these risks, the manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, did not warn users about the risks of injuries until March 2022. After this date, however, doctors were aware of the risks Ozempic posed and had a duty to prevent adverse drug reactions.

If you used Ozempic and sustained serious injuries leading to costly medical bills, our San Antonio Ozempic gallbladder lawsuit attorneys can help you file a product liability or medical malpractice lawsuit, depending on the date of your injury. Contact a San Antonio drug injury lawyer for a free consultation.

Other Common Gallbladder Surgery Mistakes

The most common mistake associated with any surgical procedure is surgeons leaving foreign objects in patients’ bodies. If a surgeon leaves a surgical tool or other object inside of the patient’s stomach after the surgery is performed, this will cause extreme pain and put the patient at a very high risk.

Our San Antonio gallbladder surgery lawyers have also handled cases where surgeons damaged other organs, such as the liver, during these procedures.

These mistakes can lead to serious complications, including infections, internal bleeding, and the need for additional surgeries. If a surgeon fails to recognize the symptoms after the procedure is performed, regardless of the type of gallbladder surgery error, the simple procedure can quickly become deadly.

Patients who suffer from a botched gallbladder surgery may face long-term health issues and significant financial burdens. When such injuries occur during a routine gallbladder surgery, this often points to a negligent surgeon or hospital staff. Our San Antonio gallbladder malpractice lawyer group can help you file a medical malpractice claim if you’ve been injured because of medical negligence during your gallbladder surgery.

Statute of Limitations for Gallbladder Surgery Malpractice Claims in Texas

Gallbladder Malpractice Settlements

Our experienced gallbladder surgery malpractice lawyers in San Antonio ensure your case will be handled professionally and will work diligently to negotiate a fair settlement that fully addresses the implications of the harm the surgeon or medical professional has caused.

Average Settlement for Common Bile Duct Injury

The average settlement for a common bile duct injury can vary depending on the severity of the injury, the impact on the patient’s health, and the amount of negligence that can be proven. Bile duct injury settlements aim to compensate the patient for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term effects of their injury.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have started this review so many times, but every time I do, I realize there simply aren't enough words to thank the people at Janicek Law. Almost 3 years ago, my world ended. I lost my son, Zayden—the greatest love of my life. My other son, Zy, witnessed the unimaginable that day. He carries those memories with him every single day, and we are forever grateful that he is still here because we very easily could have lost him too. Our family didn't just experience a tragedy—we experienced trauma that changed us forever. When I first met the team at Janicek Law, I wasn't just grieving. I was broken. I was a mother trying to survive the unthinkable while helping my surviving son heal from something no child should ever witness. I didn't know if I had the strength to keep fighting. There were so many moments when I wanted to give up. Every deposition, every conversation, every piece of evidence forced me to relive the worst day of my life. I told them I couldn't do it anymore. But they never let me forget why we were fighting. They reminded me that Zayden deserved justice. They reminded me that Zy deserved justice. They believed in my family even when I couldn't believe in myself. What makes Janicek Law different is that this was never just a job to them. They never made me feel like another client or another case number. They knew my children by name. They celebrated Zayden's life. They cried with us, prayed with us, hugged us, encouraged us, and walked beside us through every heartbreaking step. They carried a piece of this burden with us, and I will never forget that. Even after the case was over, they didn't disappear. They still answer my calls. They still help me with paperwork. They still check on me. They still make me feel like my family matters. That's something you cannot fake. That's love. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing them as "my attorneys" and started seeing them as family. And I truly believe I have a family for life. No amount of money will ever bring my little boy back. I would trade every penny to hear his laugh one more time. But because of Janicek Law, I have peace knowing that his life mattered, his story was heard, and that they fought for my boys with everything they had. From the deepest part of a mother's heart... thank you. Thank you for loving my children. Thank you for never giving up on us when I wanted to give up myself. Thank you for standing beside us through the darkest chapter of our lives. You gave my family more than legal representation—you gave us hope, dignity, and people we will love for the rest of our lives. You helped a grieving mother find the strength to be the voice her son no longer had. In a world that can feel so unfair, you reminded me that there are still genuinely good people. We love each and every one of you, and we will never forget what you did for Zayden, for Zy, and for us.❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my accident, I felt overwhelmed and had no idea what to do next. Choosing Janicek Law Firm was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the very beginning, Philip Bernal,  Cassidy Muniz, and Karen Rangel took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and make sure I always knew what to expect. Cassidy and Karen were  absolutely incredible throughout my entire case. They coordinated my medical care, helped with scheduling appointments, communicated with my insurance, and was always available whenever I needed guidance or reassurance. Their compassion and dedication truly made a difficult time so much easier. The entire team worked hard to build my case, keeping me informed every step of the way, and ultimately secured a settlement I was very happy with. More importantly, they gave me the peace of mind to focus on healing instead of worrying about the legal process. I can’t thank Philip, Cassidy, Karen and everyone at Janicek Law Firm enough for their professionalism, kindness, and commitment. If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients, I highly recommend them. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!
