Anesthesia requires a delicate balance. Anesthesiologists must ensure the patient is unconscious during surgery, while making sure he or she is getting proper oxygen and blood flow. Since there is so little room for error, anesthesiologists and other medical staff must follow strict protocols when administering general, local, spinal and regional anesthesia. When they fail to provide adequate treatment, patients can suffer life-changing injuries and even wrongful death.
At The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., we provide experienced and compassionate representation to people who have suffered due to anesthesia errors at hospitals and other medical facilities. Our lawyers are prepared to pursue full and fair compensation for the losses you have suffered.

Types of Anesthesia Errors
Anesthesia errors can occur in a number of settings, but they are most common in the operating room. Examples of anesthesia malpractice include:
- General anesthesia errors resulting in lack of oxygen to the brain
- Errors in administering spinal or epidural anesthesia
- Nerve damage caused by the anesthesiologist inserting the needle directly into the nerve
- Intubation (breathing tube) injuries
- Allergic reactions to anesthetic drugs
- Administering the wrong drug or the wrong dosage
Anesthesia injuries often result in serious injuries, including brain damage and wrongful death. If your injury or your loved one's injury was caused by anesthesia malpractice, our attorneys are here to help you pursue compensation for your losses.
