Surgery Anesthesia

Your Maine Surgery & Anesthesia Lawyers

When surgery goes wrong, we can make things right

Surgery improves and saves the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans every year. At the same time, it can also be fraught with peril. Patients lay on the operating table, vulnerable and under the effects of powerful anesthesia. Surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and operating room personnel can make any number of mistakes before, during and after surgery, which can damage the health and threaten the life of a patient.

Advocating for Justice After Surgical and Anesthesia Errors: How Berman & Simmons Can Help

When surgery goes wrong because of medical errors, when avoidable surgical and anesthesia errors harm or kill a patient, Berman & Simmons’ medical malpractice attorneys can help make things right. We understand the pain, confusion, and worry that patients and families experience in the aftermath of surgical mistakes and are determined to help them through these challenging times. With an unmatched 100-year legacy of obtaining compensation for those hurt by the negligence of others, we have the resources that can help you recover and move forward after a surgical or anesthesia error upends your life.

Avoidable mistakes happen in all types of surgery

The mistakes that doctors can make with anesthesia are numerous, and given the power of these medications, the harm to a patient can be catastrophic. Surgeons and anesthesiologists can hurt patients by:

  • Improper placement of breathing tubes and IV lines.
  • Administering inappropriate types and doses of anesthesia.
  • Failing to prevent adverse anesthesia interactions with other drugs.
  • Failing to identify potential drug allergies.
  • Failing to maintain sufficient oxygen level during surgery.
