You survived the surgery. But something isn't right. Brain injuries caused by anesthesia errors don't always appear immediately. Symptoms like confusion, memory loss, slurred speech, or personality changes can surface days or even weeks later. By then, many families have already been told it's "normal recovery."

It may not be. If something feels wrong, trust that instinct. Our team, which includes a former orthopedic surgeon, knows how to read the medical record and find where care failed.

If anesthesia is improperly administered or a patient’s airway isn’t adequately managed, it can result in hypoxic brain injury.

Why Louisiana's medical review panel system is overdue for reform

T.C. Wicker Testifies in Support of SB 500. Under SB 500, a plaintiff must obtain an affidavit from a licensed physician who has reviewed the medical records

05/01/2026

This week, our attorney T.C. Wicker testified before the Louisiana Senate Judiciary A Committee in support of SB 500, a bill that would reform Louisiana's mandatory medical review panel system, which has been delaying justice for injured patients for decades.

The committee voted 4-2 to move the bill forward, and it's now headed to a full Senate floor vote this Tuesday, May 6.

Louisiana's current system requires injured patients to survive two full rounds of litigation before they can access the courts, a process that can take three years or more, often while they're dealing with devastating injuries and financial hardship.

SB 500 offers a simpler, proven alternative already used in 25 other states: a physician affidavit confirming malpractice before a suit is filed. Same filter. Far less delay.

We'll continue to follow this bill (the full Senate votes Tuesday, May 6) and advocate for Louisiana patients.
