Medical Negligence in Stroke Care and Claiming Compensation
A brain injury can be devastating, affecting not only the patient but their wider family and friends. If medical negligence has played a part, talk to a specialist solicitor about the possibility of making a claim for compensation.
The consequences of a stroke
The long term consequences of a stroke can often be life-changing. An individual's ability to function in a wide variety of ways, let alone their capacity to work, can be utterly compromised. They may require some degree of personal care and struggle to achieve many activities which they once found easy.
A stroke is, sadly, a fairly common occurrence and the challenges it brings can be very difficult to manage.
It can be especially difficult to deal with this potentially debilitating condition when it is thought that more timely or more competent medical care could have altered the outcome.
Where this is found to be the case, a successful claim for compensation can not only help the patient and their family to cope with the financial consequences of the negligence and the stroke, but can also provide some sense that the patient's negligent care has been acknowledged and that justice has been done.
Medical negligence in stroke care and management
A range of factors can contribute to a patient reaching the point where they suffer a life-changing stroke. Medical management of a patient with complex and multi-faceted needs can be challenging but a failure to spot the looming possibility of a stroke can be catastrophic.
Medical negligence in relation to a stroke, leading to disabling difficulties, can include the following.
- A failure to recognise possible indicators of a patient susceptible to a stroke
- A failure to recognise possible signs and symptoms of a stroke
- A failure to arrange for a patient to undergo appropriate tests
- A misinterpretation of test results
- The incorrect treatment or monitoring of the patient
