What counsel can engage
Why subspecialty training matters
Children are not simply small adults.
Airway anatomy, dosing, physiologic reserve, and monitoring needs differ across infancy and childhood. Those differences can change both the standard-of-care analysis and the causation analysis.

FAQ
Common questions from counsel
Do I need a pediatric anesthesiologist, or will a general anesthesiology expert do?
When the care at issue was delivered by, or should have involved, a pediatric anesthesia subspecialist, a matching subspecialist is generally expected. For general anesthesia questions, a general anesthesiology expert may be appropriate. We can help you think through fit at the inquiry stage.
Which states is Dr. Broussard licensed in?
Dr. Broussard is licensed in Louisiana. Ask about availability for matters in other jurisdictions.
What happens after I reach out?
A conflict and fit check, then engagement and secure records handling outside the public website.
What are the fees?
Fee information is provided on request after an initial conflict and fit review.
Next step
