Anaesthetic negligence can have devastating consequences. Errors with anaesthesia can leave patients with long-term injuries, psychological trauma, or even life-threatening complications. At Aston Knight Solicitors, our specialist medical negligence solicitors have extensive experience helping clients pursue anaesthetic negligence claims and securing the compensation they deserve.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to anaesthetic errors, you may be entitled to make a claim. We provide expert advice, compassionate support, and a strong track record of success in complex medical negligence cases.
What is Anaesthetic Negligence?
Anaesthetic negligence occurs when medical professionals make avoidable mistakes during the administration or monitoring of anaesthesia. These errors can result in serious physical and psychological consequences.
Common types of anaesthetic negligence include:
- Being awake or aware during surgery (anaesthetic awareness)
- Overdose or incorrect dosage of anaesthetic drugs
- Failure to check for allergies or underlying health risks
- Nerve damage or brain injury caused by anaesthetic mistakes
- Poor monitoring of vital signs during surgery
- Post-operative complications linked to anaesthetic errors
If you have experienced any of these, you may be eligible to pursue an anaesthetic negligence compensation claim.
What Compensation Can You Claim For?
Making an anaesthetic negligence claim is not just about financial recovery—it’s about ensuring you receive the care and support needed to rebuild your life. Compensation may cover:
- Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life
- Ongoing medical treatment, therapy, and rehabilitation
- Psychological trauma (including PTSD, anxiety, or depression)
- Loss of earnings and reduced future earning capacity
- Long-term care and support needs
- Home or lifestyle adaptations required due to your injuries
Our experienced team will ensure every aspect of your case is carefully assessed so you receive the maximum compensation possible.
Case Study
A patient underwent a routine operation but was given the wrong dosage of anaesthetic, leaving them conscious and in pain during surgery. They suffered severe psychological trauma and ongoing anxiety. The hospital initially denied fault, but Aston Knight Solicitors secured strong medical evidence and successfully achieved a substantial settlement to cover both treatment costs and emotional suffering.
