Anesthesia and advances in medicine allow doctors to perform surgeries that at one time were impossible. Anesthesia involves the use of powerful drugs to temporarily block a person’s ability to feel pain and to move, allowing doctors and surgeons to conduct intricate and life-saving surgeries.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury or death following anesthesia or during a surgical procedure, a Palm Beach County anesthesia error lawyer is prepared to help you recover the compensation and get the answers you deserve. Qualified attorneys are here to assist.
Anesthesiologists work with powerful medications to stop the brain from sensing pain and thereby allowing surgeons to conduct crucial medical procedures. However, if an anesthesiologist is not diligent in assessing a patient and monitoring a patient before, during, and after inducing anesthesia, there is the potential that a patient could suffer serious injuries including:

Anesthesia error cases are unique in medical malpractice litigation where a patient is injured during or after a surgery. An anesthesia error attorney who has significant experience representing injured patients and their families in medical malpractice claims will examine the cause of an injury including working with medical experts to review a patient’s charts to determine not only the cause of an accident but who is responsible.
While anesthesia error cases are complex some of the most common causes of anesthesia errors are scarily simple and include:
Unfortunately, anesthesia errors lead to thousands of people suffering injuries and dying on a yearly basis. For those who survive an anesthesia error, they often face significant complications and substantial medical bills and debt.
If you have suffered an injury because an anesthesiologist, a nurse, or technician committed an error, know that you are not alone. Contact a Palm Beach County anesthesia error lawyer today to discuss your case and the types of compensation and support you may be entitled to.
