Negligent Brain Damage and How to Claim Compensation
Not surprisingly, damage to the brain can be utterly catastrophic, undermining an individual's capacity to function and rendering them reliant on care. If your loved one is unexpectedly facing a future of disability and complex care needs, you may wish to consider making a claim for compensation.
Brain damage and medical negligence claims
Where it is found that an individual has been the victim of negligent medical care, a successful claim will address the impact of that negligence. In the case of a patient who has suffered a brain injury, that impact can be extensive, affecting almost every aspect of a person's life. That could include a significant loss of income due to incapacity to work. It could include long-term costs of care where the individual affected requires significant support to achieve a wide range of tasks and activities. It may include the costs of specialist equipment or adaptations to one's home.
If you are considering making a claim, it is absolutely crucial that you engage the services of an experienced medical negligence lawyer. Brain injury claims can be extremely complex both in terms of analysing the nature, if any, of the relevant medical negligence as well as comprehensively assessing the impact on the quality of life and the future well-being and needs of the individual who has been affected.
Compensation claims for medical negligence are associated with legal deadlines and procedures which must be met if a claim is to proceed. Familiarity with the processes and procedures of medical negligence law is essential to achieving the best settlement if, indeed, your loved one has been the victim of negligent care.
Medical negligence
Damage to the brain which might be attributed to negligent medical care could include a delay in the diagnosis of a stroke or brain tumour, for example, or an error in the course of surgery which compromises the functioning of the brain.
Whatever the nature of the negligent act, the patient is entitled to claim compensation if it has caused them to suffer an adverse outcome which would not have been the case had the negligence not occurred.
