A lawsuit has been filed against a Minnesota hospital after a man fell off of the operating table during surgery.

The suit was filed by the man’s son and it claims that the hospital did not take adequate care of the patient during his surgery. The 61-year-old man was undergoing a lumbar drain after a stroke when he fell off the table causing his exposed brain to hit the floor.

After the fall, the man underwent multiple other surgeries in order to correct any errors that occurred in the fall, but he later died of a massive stroke. The lawsuit is claiming that the velco straps on the table failed to hold the man down.

Medical malpractice cases can cause serious injury to everyone involved, our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victim.
