Cleveland Anesthesia Error Attorney

Our law firm can handle your medical malpractice claim and fight for your rights

Many people who undergo surgical procedures in a hospital, dentist’s office or another medical facility are anesthetized or even put to sleep during an operation. This is why anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists (CRNA) must undergo years of rigorous medical training.

Unfortunately, anesthesia errors still occur. Each year, thousands of people sustain serious injuries or experience severe health consequences due to mistakes made involving anesthesia. When this occurs, the medical professional who made the mistake can often be held liable (legally responsible) for their negligent actions.

Anesthesia malpractice is a form of medical negligence. So what should injury victims or their family do next? What are their legal options? Knowing what to do in such situations can be overwhelming. That’s why we want to help.

What are common anesthesia errors?

There are two main types of anesthesia – general anesthetics and local anesthetics. With general anesthetics, patients are essentially put to sleep during an operation so they don’t experience pain or discomfort. With local anesthetics, pain signals from a specific part of the body are prevented from being transmitted to the brain by inhibiting nerve conduction in the nerve pathways to the brain. In each case, the patient is able to undergo a medical procedure without feeling any pain.

Anesthesia malpractice can occur in many different ways. But in order to build a successful legal case, the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff (meaning you, the injured party). This is why it’s important to determine who caused your injury and how your injury occurred. That’s why you need a lawyer who knows how to investigate such cases and how to find the evidence you need to succeed.

Some of the most common anesthesia error claims involve:

  • Improper dosage of anesthesia.
  • Delayed administration of anesthesia.
  • Prolonged general anesthesia.
  • Failure to monitor patient under general anesthesia.
  • Administering anesthesia to a patient with a known allergy.
  • Failure to respond or delayed response to anesthesia complications.
  • Faulty medical equipment.
  • Improper administration of local anesthetic.

Whatever type of anesthesia error you’re dealing with, make sure you explore your legal options right away. The deadline to file a medical malpractice lawsuit or take legal action is short. In Ohio, you generally only have one (1) year to take legal action, according to the state’s medical malpractice statute of limitations – Ohio Revised Code (ORC) § 2305.113(B). That’s why attorney Lancione wants to meet with you as soon as possible.
