Our Medical Malpractice Lawyers Understand Anesthesiologist Cases:
Most surgeries require the assistance of an anesthesiologist. An anesthesiologist does not perform the surgery, but instead assists in placing the patient in an unconscious or semi-conscious state.
This allows the surgeon to perform the surgical procedure without the patient feeling pain or moving, thus decreasing the risk of harm or poor result.
The aanesthesiologist's job is to administer the anesthesia pre-operatively and to monitor the patient during the surgery.
The anesthesiologist is also responsible to ensure that the effects of the anesthesia are only enough for the purpose of the surgery, and will wear in a reasonable time postoperatively.
Prior to almost every surgery, doctors will routinely tell patients in what's called an Informed Consent document that the risks of anesthesia include death. Though rare, anesthesia errors can result in serious personal injuries and death.
What we do in these tragedies is help our clients to get answers about whether the negligence or mistake of an anesthesiologist was responsible for the injury or death suffered.
Anesthesiologists undergo extensive medical training. To prevail in lawsuits against anesthesiologists requires knowledgeable medical malpractice attorneys with access to experts in this medical field.
The medical malpractice attorneys of FLAHERTY FARDO have the resources and knowledge to prosecute these case and to help our clients receive answers and just compensation.
If you or a loved on has been injured as result of a sedation error or anesthesiologist error, let our medical malpractice attorneys review your case for free.
The Advantage of Having Physicians on Retainer:
FLAHERTY FARDO, LLC has a distinct advantage over many other law firms by having immediate and unfettered access to board certified physicians to review cases and to help with the prosecution of medical malpractice actions when negligence exists.
Our law firm is proud to have both Dr. Barbara Fardo, D.O. and Dr. Dean Fardo, on retainer to fully evaluate our potential medical malpractice cases.
Both Dr. Fardo's are board certified and operate their own medical practices respectively.
We accept about 1 out of 10 medical malpractice cases we review based upon the trusted judgment and advice of our physicians.
During trials, it is an enormous asset to have physicians answer key and complex medical questions.
Combining the trial experience of our law firm, with the expertise of our physicians, we believe gives us the greatest opportunity to maximize monetary recovery for our injured clients.
Pennsylvania Requires 'The Certificate of Merit':
In 2003, the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court approved a new rule requiring attorneys to obtain a "certificate of merit" from a medical professional establishing that the medical work in the case fell outside acceptable standards.
A lawyer failing to obtain the certificate cannot bring a case to trial. Public opinion and political pressure have left severely injured victims to face cynical juries.
Therefore, it is imperative that medical malpractice claims are investigated by competent attorneys who have immediate access to a variety of physicians for review.
No Fee Unless Recovery is Made:
Our representation for medical malpractice and/or medical negligence cases is based on a contingent fee structure. There is absolutely no fee unless we obtain recovery for you.
If we represent you or a loved one in a medical malpractice case, you can rest assured that we cannot make money unless we obtain monetary recovery for you or our client.
Our fees are often reduced in catastrophic situations. We truly believe it is your money and not ours. We will always reduce our fees in tragedies involving minor children.
In these cases, we advance all costs of investigation and litigation, and will not be reimbursed unless we are successful in settlement or at trial regardless of how much money we advance. Our Pittsburgh firm advances large sums of money with zero risk to our injured clients.
If you are injured, we will make any necessary accommodations to offer you the most convenient consultation possible. Whether you are at home or in a hospital, we will listen to the situation which caused your injury.
Our goal is to win your trust and business as your attorneys and to maximize all recoveries available under the law. There is absolutely no fee or cost for any of our initial consultations.
