Lap-Band weight-loss surgery causes death 185

Wrongful Death is another area of San Diego Personal Injury Law.

A California man has filed a lawsuit against Valley Surgical Center after his wife died following a Lap-Band weight-loss surgery. The lawsuit claims the woman’s liver was lacerated multiple times during the procedure, but she was not informed afterward. The Los Angeles Times reports the death was the fourth related to the procedure conducted at the center. The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages.  San Diego personal injury attorney Stuart Pfeifer, LA Times  02/10/2011
