Bile Duct Injury - Information You Need to Know - Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp

A cut bile duct can lead to jaundice, intense stomach pain, cholangitis (i.e., an infection of the bile ducts) and even loss of life if the cut is left untreated for an extended period. If you or a loved one suffered a cut bile duct injury, consult with a medical malpractice lawyer. You may have grounds to pursue a medical negligence claim. Filing a claim will enable you to pursue monetary restitution to cover your medical bills and to compensate you for the pain and suffering associated with the traumatic event.
