Thorough Investigation and Inquiry Into Medical Mistakes
Working with anesthesia professionals and other medical experts in Utah and across the nation, we are thoroughly equipped to investigate what happened to cause an unexpected fatality, long-term cognitive problems, or other incapacity or injury. We will determine whether a lawsuit is appropriate against:
- The hospital or other medical facility where an anesthesia mistake occurred, causing a heart stoppage, life-threatening or fatal blood thinning, brain injury or other serious consequences
- An individual provider or employer of the anesthesiologist, certified nurse anesthetist, or supervising doctor in charge of the operation
- Other parties liable for failing to exercise due diligence in guarding against anesthesia errors or otherwise meeting the standard of care
Prepared for Action in Cases of Serious Medical Negligence
Negligence in administering anesthesia can take many forms, including:
- Failure to account for patient allergies or other medications, resulting in chemical interactions that can lead to paralysis, permanent brain damage or an avoidable death
- Insufficient monitoring of the patient
- Anesthesia overdose
Recent changes in medical malpractice laws and standards have made it more challenging than ever to recover significant compensation in medical malpractice cases, but we remain up to this challenge.
