Attorneys for Anesthesia Errors

Anesthesia induced injuries occur during surgical procedures, labor and delivery, pain management therapy and other forms of medical treatment. Common injuries range from nerve damage to paralysis and death. Medical specialists, called anesthesiologists, are usually responsible for administering and monitoring anesthesia during major surgical procedures.

Our team of Attorneys for Anesthesia Errors offers the medical resources and experience necessary to successfully litigate malpractice claims. The Medical Malpractice division of Elk & Elk covers the entire state of Ohio and our attorneys specialize in the areas of Anesthesia Errors and medical malpractice.

Specially trained nurses, called nurse practitioners or certified registered nurse anesthetists, administer and monitor anesthesia during some medical and surgical procedures. These individuals and the primary care physician are responsible for patient safety and should take precautions to avoid anesthesia injuries by making certain that appropriate medications are selected and administered in the correct amount and manner. Close monitoring of patients' vital signs (including heart and respiration rates and blood pressures) as well as careful and constant observation of patients is also essential. Serious patient injuries result when responsible healthcare providers administer the wrong amounts or the wrong medications.

Other patient injuries occur when patients experience adverse reactions to medications and healthcare providers are not watching closely. Healthcare providers are responsible for injuries to patients that occur under these circumstances.

Our attorneys specializing in Anesthesia Errors strive to provide our clients with the most effective legal representation possible. Our law firm is dedicated to the rights of medical malpractice and medical mistake injury victims throughout Ohio and for more than 40 years, Elk & Elk has leveled the playing field between medical malpractice and wrongful death victims and the large insurance companies and corporations on the opposing side.
