We represent surgical injury claims resulting from anesthesia negligence, such as:
- Failure to properly monitor vital signs
- Medication and drug errors
- Aspiration
Who Is Responsible?
Typically, anesthesiologists and CRNAs are independent, licensed professionals who contract with the hospital for their services. They usually carry their own malpractice insurance. Often, a negligence claim will be filed directly against the anesthesiologist but may also include negligence on the part of the hospital and surgical staff. We investigate fully and file a suit against each party who is liable for our client’s injuries or wrongful death claim.
Our lawyers stand out with their legal knowledge, experience and proficiency in managing these types of intricate litigation cases. This unique combination empowers them to consistently secure favorable outcomes for clients contending with claims against an anesthesiologist.
