Brain Injury Impact and When to Claim For Medical Negligence
If the life of a loved one has been devastated by a negligent brain injury, contact Glynns Solicitors, specialists in medical negligence law, to discuss how to move forward with making a claim for compensation.
Complex medical negligence claims
As you can probably imagine, compensation claims for medical negligence related to a brain injury are extremely complex.
Initially, an investigation into the quality of the patient's medical care will need to be carried out by medical experts in order to ascertain whether, indeed, there has been any negligence on the part of the medical professionals involved. If so, an assessment of the many and varied ways in which any error has affected the patient will also need to be undertaken.
Furthermore the financial consequences, such as loss of income and the costs of care, equipment, treatment and appropriate housing will all need to be calculated in order to make a full, fair and comprehensive claim.
Where an individual has been devastated by negligent medical care, they are legally entitled to claim compensation for the consequences of that negligence. A specialist medical negligence lawyer is essential to guide you through this process.
Medical negligence and brain injury
A patient may suffer a negligent brain injury as a result of a range of medical processes and procedures including the following:
- Negligence in relation to a stroke such as a failure of diagnosis
- Delayed diagnosis of a brain tumour
- Delayed diagnosis of hydrocephalus or a failure of shunt surgery
- Negligence related to surgery or anaesthesia
Timely and appropriate medical intervention in the patient's underlying condition may have enabled them to maintain their existing quality of life. Negligent medical care, on the other hand, may have undermined their quality of life completely.
