Anesthesia Errors

Anesthesia errors in Florida are covered under §458 of the Florida Statutes. A supervising anesthesiologist is liable for the actions of their anesthesiologist assistant. The Board of Medicine can impose penalties on anesthesiologist assistants who violate the statute §456. Anesthesia errors can cause serious complications, such as brain damage, organ failure, or death. If an anesthesia error was caused by negligence, you may be able to pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit. The statute of limitations for medical malpractice lawsuits in Florida is 2 years from the date of the malpractice.

Who Should Consider Filing a Claim and Why Legal Representation Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Patients who have suffered due to an anesthesia error—including issues like incorrect dosage, failure to monitor vital signs, or delayed response to adverse reactions—can benefit from filing a claim. Pursuing compensation helps cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and the emotional toll of such traumatic experiences.
• Consequences Without Representation: Anesthesia error cases can be complex, often involving detailed medical records, expert testimonies, and intricate legal standards for proving negligence. Without legal assistance, you may struggle to gather the necessary evidence and interpret medical records. Insurance companies and healthcare providers often employ aggressive defense tactics to limit liability, which can make it difficult for you to receive fair compensation without an experienced attorney.
