"I was involved in an accident while in the United States visiting from Jamaica. I was referred to an attorney who then sent me to Mr. Yeboah. Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in about two weeks after I signed with Yeboah Law Group. He told me that cases usually take longer but Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case fast. Thank you Mr. Yeboah!"

"I was racially discriminated against by one of the largest banks in the country. I felt very strongly about filing a racial discrimination case against them, but I didn’t know the first thing about my options. I consulted with Mr. Yeboah about what had transpired and what I wanted to do. He very professionally gave me a rundown of the steps and possible actions that could happen in result of those actions. He never persuaded me one way or the other, but always assured me whatever my decision he would fight for me. Long story short, I filed the discrimination claim with the EEOC and later sued that bank with Mr. Yeboah’s help. He walked me through and communicated with me the whole way. There was even a time, where it looked unlikely that the case would go in my favor, and I considered dropping the case. But he told me to wait and let him see what he could do. He went back and forth with the bank’s legal team, again this being one of the largest banks in the nation, and he was able to negotiate terms that we all were happy with. He turned something into nothing by refusing to give up. When I thought that this whole thing was going to be a loser, he turned it around for me. He never stopped fighting for me, even though he knew the case was challenging. He set the expectation for me from the beginning. He never overpromised, but just kept me informed of the complete situation. I would recommend Mr. Yeboah and the Yeboah Law Group to anyone who wants a fighter and an advocate, who’s not afraid to go to bat for you, and won’t sell you a dream, but keeps you in the loop and...

Anesthesia Negligence

Fort Lauderdale Medication Error Attorneys Advocating for Clients Injured by Anesthesia Negligence

Fighting for the rights of South Florida victims of injury from medication errors

When you are getting ready to go under the knife, most patients are nervous about the surgical procedure when the potentially more dangerous part of the surgery is the administration of anesthesia. An anesthesiologist plays a critical role in patient care. Their breadth of knowledge about pain management and how the human body functions, how the body responds under the stress of surgery, and how to respond quickly when a surgical complication arises can save your life according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Physician anesthesiologists help before, during and after surgery taking into consideration the patient’s medical history and current condition, monitoring the body’s vital signs during surgery and reversing the effects of the anesthetic to bring the patient back to consciousness. However, medication errors in anesthesia represent one of the most common causes of death in patients in the hospital. (Journal of Medical Practice Management (MPM)).

The trusted Fort Lauderdale medical malpractice attorneys at the Yeboah Law Group understand the grief that our clients go through when a loved one dies or suffers serious injury because of anesthesia negligence. We are here to protect your right to pursue compensation when you have been injured or lost a loved one due to a preventable anesthesia mistake in a Miami-Dade, Fort Lauderdale, or South Florida health facility.

Examples of anesthesia negligence

Because of the absolute precision required in the anesthesiologist’s work, there is no room for error. Unfortunately, mistakes do happen and here are some examples of those mistakes:

Administering the wrong anesthesia drug
Overdose of medication
Failure to properly analyze patient’s medical history
Improper intubation
Failure to educate patient about food and alcohol restrictions prior to surgery
Failure to monitor patient during surgery
Use of defective medical device or equipment during surgery
Failure to administer oxygen properly during surgery
Anesthesia awareness (patient partially awakens during surgery) from delivering too little of one or more drugs

An ASA research study on anesthesia medication errors reported that one in 20 perioperative (meaning around the time of surgery) medication administrations included a medication error (ME) or adverse drug event (ADE). More than one third of MEs led to observed ADEs and the remaining two thirds were potentially harmful. The researchers also noted that these rates are much higher than those reported in retrospective surveys, and that there are solutions that could potentially decrease the number of perioperative medication errors.

Causes of anesthesia malpractice

Some of the reasons for anesthesia errors, per the study in MPM, include things such as medication pouches with similar appearance and packaging, inattention of the clinician, ineffective communication, negligence, incompetence, fatigue and rushing.

Effects of or injuries from anesthesia mistakes

Some of the potential side effects or injuries from anesthesia negligence that can change the patient’s life forever or lead to death include:

Heart attack
Brain injury
Vein, artery or nerve damage
Spinal cord injury, which can lead to paralysis
Stroke
Seizures
Hyperthermia
Dizziness and confusion
Coma

How to determine if the error was anesthesia negligence

When an anesthesia injury occurs causing disability or death, it takes the expert eye of a medical expert to review the medical records related to the procedure. The medical expert is also familiar with the law and they know what evidence they need to determine the cause of the patient’s injury. Proving anesthesia malpractice is complicated, and it take a tremendous amount of time and resources. At the Yeboah Law Group, we are prepared to put our resources on the line to make sure that you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries and other losses including damages for:

Your present and future medical expenses

We are here to help.
