Phoenix Anesthesia Errors Attorney

Arizona Surgical Errors Lawyer

Patients who undergo surgery are entrusting their health and care during the surgery not only to the surgeon, but also to the anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist. When the anesthesiologist makes errors in dosage or administration of the anesthesia, catastrophic injuries and wrongful death can occur. If a loved one suffered a coma, stroke, brain injury, or death during a surgical procedure, and you feel you have not been given straightforward answers about what went wrong, there may be a reason for the ambiguity in the answers. Our Phoenix medical malpractice lawyers at Knapp & Roberts can help you find the answers you are looking for and explain your options for moving forward with a medical malpractice or wrongful death claim.

We care … and we can help.

When dealing with the powerful effects of local or general anesthesia, even minor doctor or nurse errors can cause severe and even fatal damage. Anesthesia errors can cause a patient to suffer a heart attack, stroke, brain damage, paralysis, or death.

From offices in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Knapp & Roberts is equipped to represent clients throughout Arizona with anesthesia malpractice claims involving:

• Negligent administration of anesthesia (anesthesia overdose)
• Delayed delivery of anesthesia
• Failure to monitor the patient properly
• Failure to consider drug interactions
• Failure to properly administer oxygen during the procedure
• Other anesthesia errors

Doctor error or medical negligence is not always to blame for complications with anesthesia or complications during surgery. Each case requires careful analysis by medical experts to determine if there was a breach in the accepted standard of care, and to determine if those negligent actions caused or contributed to the patient's injuries or death. Our attorneys have the necessary experience and resources to handle medical malpractice cases arising from anesthesia or surgical errors.
