Anesthesiologist Error Injury Lawyers in Arlington Heights
Rolling Meadows Attorney for Anesthesia Malpractice in Cook County
When a patient requires surgery to address a medical problem, he or she may be concerned about the procedure and the skill level of the surgeon. The patient must also trust that the anesthesiologist is properly trained and prepared to do his or her job both before the procedure and while it is underway. An anesthesiologist who fails to provide the appropriate care for a surgical patient could be held liable for any injuries that occur as the result of an anesthesia error.
At Newland & Newland, LLP, we know that the vast majority of procedures requiring anesthesia are completed without any problems or complications. We realize, however, that carelessness or negligence by an anesthesiologist can cause devastating consequences. If you or someone you love has been injured by substandard care provided by an anesthesiologist, our attorneys can help you explore your available options.
Types of Anesthesia
There are several different types of anesthesia that could be used to block pain and to allow a patient to undergo a surgical procedure. General anesthesia is commonly used for major procedures, and it is meant to render the patient completely unconscious. This type of anesthesia is sometimes referred to as "being put under." If anesthesia is only required for a relatively small part of the body, local anesthesia may be used. An epidural, or spinal anesthesia, might be appropriate if the procedure requires the lower body to be numbed. Epidurals are relatively common during labor and delivery.
Common Mistakes
An anesthesia-related error could occur for a variety of reasons, including negligence or malpractice. If the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist does not comply with the prevailing standard of care, he or she could be held liable any injuries or illnesses caused. Some of the most common types of anesthesia mistakes include:
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia;
- Interactions with other drugs;
- Too much or too little anesthesia;
- Delayed delivery;
- Intubation errors;
- Failing to monitor a patient properly;
- Failing to recognize and address complications;
- Ignoring alarms or machine notifications;
- Mistakes involving oxygen administration;
- Poor communication;
- Sedation that lasts too long; and
- Defective or inadequately maintained equipment.
The injuries associated with anesthesia error can be serious and may include brain injuries, nerve damage, heart palpitations, blood pressure concerns, seizures, coma, and sometimes death.

Personal Injury
At Newland & Newland, LLP, we know that any type of accident has the power to change your life forever in just a few seconds. If you have suffered a serious injury, you could be facing many months or even years of expensive medical care and pain that may never go away completely. When such injuries are caused by someone else's negligence, Illinois law gives you the ability to seek compensation for your injuries from the negligent party.
Our experienced personal injury lawyers are equipped to handle a full range of personal injury matters, including motor vehicle crashes, premises liability cases, defective or dangerous products, and accidents involving public transportation. We also assist those who have suffered injuries caused by nursing home neglect, elder abuse, violent crimes, and sexual abuse. Our team will conduct a full investigation into the circumstances of your case and work to get you the full compensation that you deserve.
Car Accidents
Every day, thousands of Illinois residents are injured in car accidents caused by carelessness or negligence by others on the road. Our firm is dedicated to helping car accident victims recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, decreased quality of life, and other considerations. If you have been hurt in a car crash, you should not sign anything from the insurance company or agree to any settlements until you speak to a lawyer at Newland & Newland, LLP first. We will ensure that your rights and best interests are protected every step of the way.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks are massive vehicles that can cause catastrophic damage when they are involved in an accident. In most truck accidents, unfortunately, it is the occupants of other vehicles who usually suffer the worst injuries. Trucking companies often have teams of lawyers working on their behalf to help limit their liability following an accident, and you deserve the same level of legal protection. Our attorneys will help you stand up to trucking companies, their insurance companies, and their lawyers so that you can get the compensation you need to put your life back together.
Medical Malpractice
Medical mistakes are among the leading causes of death in the United States. Each year thousands of patients die as a result of errors made by doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, and many thousands more suffer non-fatal injuries. Not all medical errors are caused by negligence or carelessness, as even the most careful medical professionals are not perfect. When negligence does lead to substandard care, however, the negligent doctor or hospital must be held accountable.
At Newland & Newland, LLP, we have the knowledge and experience to handle all types of medical malpractice cases, including missed diagnosis, delayed diagnosis, primary care errors, errors by physician specialists, emergency room mistakes, and pharmacy malpractice. We also assist families affected by birth injuries caused by medical negligence. If you or a member of your family suffered harm due to substandard care in an Illinois doctor's office, hospital, or another medical facility, our attorneys are ready to help you take action.
Workers' Compensation
According to Illinois law, employees who get hurt in the course of performing their jobs are typically eligible for benefits through the state's workers' compensation program. Unfortunately, it not uncommon for workers' compensation claims to be partially or completely denied or unnecessarily delayed, leaving victims to face a variety of challenges on their own. At Newland & Newland, LLP, we provide guidance for injured workers throughout the entire workers' compensation claims process.
If you have been injured at work, our experienced lawyers can help you seek medical care and notify your employer in a timely manner. We will also assist you in dealing with delays or disputes by your employer or the workers' compensation insurance carrier. Our firm will work with you in escalating your claim to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission if necessary, and we are even ready to take your case to trial. We will not be intimidated, and we will not back down. Our lawyers will do everything we can to get you the full benefits provided under the law.
