When to File an Anesthesia Error Medical Malpractice Lawsuit (Part B)

What Are the Effects of Anesthesia Errors?

Because general anesthesia drugs can cause greater injuries than the other types, errors in surgeries that use general anesthesia form the bulk of relevant medical malpractice lawsuits.

Damage to the individual must be substantial. Were wages lost due to disability for a long period of time? Was severe and/or chronic pain endured due to breathing problems or allergic reactions? Were medical bills to fix the injuries extremely high, or did death ensue?

Patients should consider the result of their injuries. If the anesthesia errors caused a big change in an individual's employability, health or quality of life, damages may be large enough to warrant an expensive trial. If the outcome of your injuries caused more inconvenience and discomfort than threats to safety and long term health, a medical malpractice lawsuit may not be worth the trouble.

Which Staff Behavior Was Negligent?

When injuries and damage to the patient's lifestyle is enough to bring a personal injury claim, who should be named in the lawsuit?

Charges of negligent medical malpractice can be brought against the:

• Doctor
• Anesthesiologist
• Member of surgical staff
• Hospital
• Equipment manufacturer

Depending on the details of the anesthesia error, one or more parties can be sued.
