Working With Medical Experts to Prove Anesthesiologist Malpractice in Missouri

We represent clients in Missouri personal injury and wrongful death litigation related to anesthesia errors. These mistakes can result in heart failure, brain damage, paralysis, respiratory failure, blindness, coma or death. It is not enough to show, however, that the patient suffered one of these outcomes during surgery.
Our attorneys use qualified expert testimony to argue that the particular errors that led to the injury or death were those that a reasonably cautious professional would have known to prevent, and that the client's injuries were a direct result of these lapses of professional judgment or performance.
One of the particular tragedies of anesthesia errors is their capacity to harm patients in ways far more serious than the medical condition the surgery was meant to correct. For example, our law firm negotiated a confidential settlement for a 12-year-old boy who suffered severe neurological injuries due to negligence in anesthesia during a routine outpatient hernia repair, a case that received national attention.
