Brain Injury and When to Claim Compensation for Negligence
A sudden brain injury acquired through the negligence of medical practitioners can be utterly life-changing. The term 'catastrophic' may not be an overstatement. If such a shocking event has occurred to a loved one, contact a specialist medical negligence solicitor at the earliest moment.
Brain injury impact
This appalling scenario can affect an individual in a catalogue of disabling ways including the following:
- extensive neurological symptoms affecting the individual's ability to function physically and independently
- mobility and dexterity losses
- cognitive impairment
- speech impairment
It is quite likely that the individual affected by such overwhelming symptoms is likely to struggle to work, may require considerable levels of personal care and may require adaptations to their home. The impact on their family and friends can be significant.
The financial implications can be huge. If an individual cannot work and requires 24 hour care, the costs and financial losses will be significant. If their home needs to be adapted to suit their needs, this too can present a high cost. The costs of specialist equipment and treatment could also be added into the mix.
Medical negligence and brain injury
If this distressing outcome has been influenced by medical negligence, the patient should be legally entitled to claim compensation.
Such an appalling scenario is thankfully rare but does occasionally happen.
Errors such as delays in diagnosis of a stroke or of meningitis or hydrocephalus can all leave a patient with brain damage. Errors in anaesthesia likewise can affect the brain as can an error in the course of surgery.
If you suspect that your loved one has experienced an event such as this, contact a specialist medical negligence solicitor. They will be able to obtain copies of your loved one's medical records and engage the finest medical experts who will analyse the quality of their care.
