Atlanta Anesthesia Errors Attorney

Did Your Anesthesiologist Fail to Provide the Standard Level of Care?

Anesthesia is a highly technical field of medicine. The advances in this field have enabled life-saving surgeries to be performed, which would be impossible without the valuable work of the anesthesiologists. When the anesthesiologists, nurse, doctor or other medical professional administering these powerful medications fail to live up to the standard of care set by the profession they are guilty of medical malpractice or medical negligence. If this has happened to you or a loved one, you should seek legal counsel from an Atlanta medical malpractice lawyer at The Tolson Firm, LLC as soon as possible. Our firm focuses on cases of medical malpractice and we are experienced and have a record of achieving successful outcomes for our clients.

Representing the Victims of Anesthesia Errors in Georgia

Anesthesia errors can occur in surgery, hospitals, urgent care facilities, and doctors and dentist offices for local anesthetic.

The following are the normal reasons for complications that arise:

• Overdose
• Under dose
• Harmful interactions with other drugs the patient is taking
• Allergic reaction to the drug administered
• Waiting too long to administer
• Defective equipment which fails to administer the drugs properly
• Negligent monitoring of the patient

Following the standard procedures established and proven to work when administering powerful drugs to patients can prevent all of these consequences from happening. Doctors, dentists, anesthesiologists and nurses are trained in the proper administration of the drugs so when they fail to live up to their responsibilities, they should be held accountable. A medical malpractice suit acts to do just that. The consequences of these kinds of errors can be serious for an individual or family. They can add substantial medical costs and treatments, cause permanent injury and even death.
