San Diego Anesthesia Malpractice Lawyers
California Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Surgery and medical treatments and operations require anesthesia so the patient feels no pain during the treatment. Anesthesia can be general, meaning the patient is taken to a state of drug-induced loss of consciousness, or it can be local, meaning that only a certain area of the patient’s body is made numb to pain.
Administering, maintaining, and bringing a patient out of anesthesia is a complicated process that should only be handled by medical professionals. Unfortunately, even a person who is trained in anesthesiology may make a mistake that leads to injury to the patient, leaving him or her with a severe and permanent injury, profound brain damage, or even an injury so severe that it leads to death. An anesthesiologist and his or her staff must follow specific and standard rules and protocol in all aspects of anesthesiology; their failure to do so may lead to severe injuries or death.

Proving Fault in Anesthesia Malpractice Claims
Proving the fault of a doctor or other hospital employee in an anesthesia malpractice claim can be extremely difficult. Because the patient was unconscious or sedated at the time of the error or negligent conduct, we must rely upon records, testimonies of others present and technical facts regarding the injury and the likelihood that it was the result of the botched anesthesia.
The experience of attorney specialists shines through in these situations. The medical malpractice attorneys we recommend know how to use the resources they have to help prove your case and help you get compensation for your injuries and suffering.
