We trust physicians and nurse anesthetists to take care of us and our loved ones during a surgical procedure. We depend on nurses and pharmacists to dispense the correct medication at the appropriate times. Sometimes, despite high levels of training and excellent standards of care, a catastrophic mistake is made, leaving a loved one severely injured for the rest of his or her life. You have the right to fight back.
If you have lost a family member as a result of anesthesia or medication error, contact an Arizona medication error attorney at the Law Office of Jeffery J. Hernandez. We serve clients injured by medication or anesthesia errors in Phoenix, Scottsdale and throughout Arizona.

Our attorneys have a great deal of experience with these types of cases and know how to pursue compensation for serious injury or wrongful death. A skilled personal injury lawyer at our firm will be happy to meet with you in a free initial consultation to discuss your concerns.
Experienced Arizona Medication Error Attorney
So much can and does go wrong in the operating theater or in a hospital patient room. Side effects of anesthesia range from minor reactions such as vomiting or shivering to major reactions such as pain and fatigue. If too much anesthesia is administered to a patient, he or she may go into cardiac arrest, sustain brain or organ damage, or slip into a coma. If too little is administered, the patient may experience the horror of waking during a surgical procedure. Some patients experience a severe allergic reaction to anesthesia.
The elderly are often at increased risk for medication errors because they often take more medications than younger patients. Typical medication errors include:
- Improper dosage
- Prescription of the wrong medication
- Incorrect administration of the medication by health care workers
Our attorneys take the time to build a strong case on your behalf and start by asking a lot of questions. We need to understand the underlying condition of the patient, how he or she was injured and what proof exists to back up the claim. We ask to access medical records and bring in medical experts of our own to provide learned testimony. In all cases, our goal is to win maximum compensation for the injury or wrongful death. We work on contingency, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we win compensation for you.
