Negligent Brain Injury and Claiming Compensation
The long-term consequences of a negligent brain injury can be utterly life-changing. Talk to a specialist solicitor about the possibility of making a claim for compensation.
The devastation of a negligent brain injury
Severe brain injury caused by medical negligence can devastate the life not only of the individual who has been directly affected by the substandard care, but also the lives of their family and friends.
An individual whose life has been turned upside down by negligent treatment may find that they are no longer able to work and that many routine daily activities and personal and households chores are difficult to achieve if not impossible. They may become partially or wholly dependent on care, depriving their family of significant income as well as their practical and emotional contribution to family life, and placing enormous strain on family relationships.
The associated costs of care, possibly a twenty-four hour necessity, can be overwhelming.
When is it appropriate to claim compensation?
If it is found that there was, indeed, an act of negligence during the course of someone's medical care, resulting in their brain injury, it could be appropriate to make a claim for compensation.
A successful claim would take account of the individual's difficulties in so far as they have been caused by the negligence. For example, if a person is unable to work due to medical negligence, when, with an acceptable level of medical intervention they would be able to continue working in their normal employment for normal hours, the loss of income, both past and future, would be included in a claim.
Whether the negligence was in the course of surgery or in a failure of a timely diagnosis, due to incorrect treatment or a misdiagnosis, it is possible to claim compensation for a negligent act by a medical professional, whether your GP or a hospital consultant, for the long-term consequences.
