When to Claim Compensation for Negligent Brain Injury
If your life or that of a loved one has been devastated by brain injury due to medical negligence, speak to a legal specialist about how to make a claim for compensation.
Brain injury compensation
If a patient suffers a poor outcome due to negligent medical care, they are legally entitled to claim compensation for the consequences.
A brain injury can, not surprisingly, be utterly catastrophic, undermining an individual's fundamental capacity, independence and ability to function in a wide variety of ways. They may become reliant on care and unable to work.
The lives of those around them, their friends and loved ones may also undergo significant change as a result of an act of negligent care.
If negligent medical care is at the root of such a distressing and life-changing circumstance, it may be possible to claim compensation.
Medical negligence causing brain injury may occur in a variety of ways including the following:
- Delays in diagnosis or treatment, allowing a patient's condition to deteriorate, causing a severe brain injury such as a stroke or hydrocephalus
- Inappropriate surgery or surgical technique, causing the patient to suffer a brain injury
When to make a claim
In order to make a claim for compensation, it is necessary for it to be evident both that the patient has been the victim of negligent care and that the negligence caused them to suffer a worse outcome than would have been the case with an appropriate and acceptable level of care.
Brain injury compensation claims are extremely complex, requiring the expertise and experience of specialist solicitors and the analytical input of the best medical experts.
