The family of a woman who died in surgery, had been awarded $20 million by a jury in Alabama. If you or someone you love has been the victim of medical negligence, the New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers Levinson-Axelrod may be able to help you get the compensation you deserve.

The lawsuit was brought against Coastal Anesthesia, one doctor, and a nurse. The family alleges that the anesthesiologist and the doctor failed to see that the patient had risk factors for breathing fluid into her lungs. Once the patient was anesthetized, she began breathing bile into her lungs and died.
