When Anesthesia Makes the Pain Worse
Anesthesiologists have become very, very good at using powerful drugs and gases to prevent or ease pain. But the power and effectiveness of anesthetic medications comes with great danger to the patient--and great responsibility to the doctors using them.
All anesthesiologists are trained to use techniques and to follow precise rules which prevent injury or death. When those rules aren't followed and people get hurt, that is anesthesiologist (or anesthesia) medical malpractice.

Different Cases, Same Story
Every single one of the anesthesia malpractice cases we have handled at Polewski & Associates has one thing in common: The anesthesiologist wasn’t paying attention, or he failed to follow basic safety rules.
Some anesthesia medical malpractice cases we have handled involved patients injured because the anesthesiologist did not properly monitor the patient's breathing, leading to brain damage or death. Other anesthesiology malpractice cases we have handled involved regional nerve blocks--blocks like epidural anesthesia during child birth, and interscalene blocks during arm surgery.
We've handled cases where our clients had a limb paralyzed because of injury to their spinal cord during an "epidural steroid injection". Our firm is handling a case right now in which a patient died on the operating room table--and nobody noticed. Another case we're handling right now involves a woman whose leg was paralyzed due to an anesthetic shot delivered to the wrong part of her leg.
Making Things Better
Every anesthesiologist has medical malpractice insurance that is there precisely to compensate families like yours hurt by anesthesiologist malpractice. Your family is entitled to be compensated when anesthesia unnecessarily causes pain or death.
But your case is about more than money. It's about making sure that what happened to you doesn’t happen again. Your anesthesia medical malpractice suit could save the life of a person you will never meet.
