Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New Jersey
cataract surgery
during routine cataract surgery the doctor tore my iris from its socket. He said it was my fault since my head moved. I was under anesthesia and my head was in a harness. Where does the doctor assume responsibilty if I am under anesthesia?

A doctor that negligently performs an operation is typically liable for malpractice, regardless of whether the patient is under anesthesia. Please do not hesitate to contact me for a free consultation about your claim.
