The hospital said the error was caught and corrected. Can I still sue?

Yes. The fact that the hospital caught and attempted to correct the error does not eliminate its liability for the harm you suffered in the interim. You endured an unnecessary surgical procedure, potential complications from anesthesia, pain and suffering, lost wages, and emotional trauma. All of that is compensable. The hospital’s admission that an error occurred is often powerful evidence in a malpractice claim.
