Anesthesia Injury Attorney Answers FAQs
It can feel very intimidating to take on the medical establishment in a lawsuit. You probably have many questions about the process. Following are answers to some of the most common questions we get.
What Kind of Injuries from Anesthesia Errors Lead to Lawsuits?
Anesthesia errors can result in respiratory failure, heart attack, stroke, brain damage and other serious injuries and complications, as well as death. In cases where brain damage occurs due to anesthesia errors, consulting a Topeka brain injury lawyer can be crucial for legal guidance and representation. Additionally, some patients may experience anesthesia awareness, which is when the administration of too little anesthesia (or delayed anesthesia) causes the patient to wake up or feel pain during surgery. This terrifying event can cause long-term emotional and psychological damage, including anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. These types of injuries and others can lead to malpractice lawsuits.
How Do You Prove Anesthesia Malpractice?
To prove anesthesia malpractice, we must show that the anesthesiologist was negligent. This means that they acted outside the accepted standard of medical care. Some of the ways we will work to prove negligence include investigating the doctor’s background for past errors, speaking with eyewitnesses, and engaging medical experts to review your case. Depending upon the type of error that led to your injuries, we may request that the anesthesia equipment be examined for malfunctions. If equipment failed, the manufacturer may be held liable, as could the party responsible for its maintenance.
Can I Get Compensation If My Loved One Died from an Anesthesia Error?
If there is evidence that an anesthesia error led to your loved one’s death, you may be able to get compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Spouses, parents, children and other eligible heirs of deceased parties can file. Damages you and other eligible heirs could potentially receive include payment for funeral and burial expenses, medical costs, lost income, loss of companionship and support and more.
How Long Do I Have to Sue for Malpractice?
There is a two-year statute of limitations for filing malpractice lawsuits in Kansas for injury or wrongful death. The clock begins running on the date of the surgery or other procedure that resulted in your injury or when you discovered you were injured. For wrongful death, it begins on the date of death. There are some exceptions, so you should speak with an attorney for specific deadlines in your case.
