Anesthesia is a vital part of any surgery, but it requires constant monitoring and clear communication between all members of the surgical team. Medication errors and mistakes on the part of an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist can result in serious long-term injury, coma and even death.
If you lost a loved one or suffered in any way due to anesthesia malpractice or medication error during or after surgery, a knowledgeable and effective attorney at the Nashville law firm of Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge can help.

Negligence or miscommunication between doctors, nurses and anesthesiologists can increase the risk of receiving the wrong medication during a hospital stay. Prescribing and administering a drug that is contraindicated due to a patient's medical history or a potential drug interaction or other side effect can be the basis of a medical malpractice lawsuit.
We also handle pharmaceutical malpractice cases where a pharmacist or drug store has misfilled a prescription or failed to warn a customer about potentially dangerous side effects. Whether you suffered as a result of negligence or error on the part of a pharmacist or you were given the wrong pills or other medication during a hospital stay, you have serious legal options to receive compensation for your damages.
If you suspect that you or a loved one suffered injury due to a medication error, there are some important steps that you can take right away. Do not throw away any medications ― these may be important evidence in your case. Also, be sure to save any prescriptions, receipts or records that can help our investigators establish a paper trail to prove medication error or pharmaceutical malpractice. Finally, contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney at Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge immediately.
