When Anesthesia Errors Cause Injury
Complications from anesthesia errors often result in the following injuries:
- Stroke
- Tooth damage
- Nerve damage
- Internal organ damage
- Heart damage, including cardiac arrest
- Brain injury, especially where the patient suffers a lack of oxygen
- Fatal injury
Please note: Any type of anesthesia can be misused by a negligent medical provider. For example, some patients are harmed by anesthesia errors while having their wisdom teeth pulled. Others may be hurt by the incorrect use of an epidural during labor and delivery.
At Alpert Schreyer, LLC, our lawyers often receive calls from patients unsure whether they have been harmed by anesthesia malpractice. Sadly, many medical providers misrepresent any error on their part as something that was unavoidable. If you were injured but are unsure about whether negligence played a role, we can investigate your case to find the answer.
