Chicago Anesthesia Malpractice Attorneys
Representing Illinois Victims of Anesthesia Malpractice
Anesthesia, be it general or local, is used in nearly every surgical procedure. While anesthesia is considered to be both safe and effective at blocking pain, anesthesia errors may occur, oftentimes resulting in serious medical complications, including coma, heart attack, stroke and death.
Anesthesia errors can occur for a number of reasons, but, in most cases, anesthesia errors are the result of medical malpractice. If the anesthesiologist, doctor, nurse, or other health care provider fails to administer anesthesia according to the appropriate standard of care, he or she may be liable for any injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering that the patient experiences as a result of the anesthesia error.
At Cogan & Power, P.C., our Chicago medical malpractice attorneys have considerable experience representing the victims of anesthesia errors and other types of medical malpractice, including surgical errors and diagnostic errors. We have a proven track record of success, with many notable verdicts and settlements, including $3 million for the family of a 7- year-old boy who died of respiratory arrest after doctors performed conscious sedation on the boy in conjunction with a lumbar puncture.
If you or a loved one has suffered an anesthesia error schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our knowledgeable Chicago anesthesia error lawyers.
Injuries Caused by Anesthesia Errors
The injuries that can result from anesthesia vary depending on the type of anesthesia used, the nature of the anesthesia error, and the medical response provided following the anesthesia error. Some of the most common injuries caused by anesthesia errors include:
- Tracheal damage
- Lack of adequate oxygen supply
- Cardiovascular injury, such as heart attack or stroke
- Birth defects
- Paralysis
- Brain damage

- Death
