Have You Suffered Brain Injury Due To The Negligence Of Your Doctor?
Tuesday, February 28th, 2012It is a well known fact that the brain is the most vital organ of the body and it is the brain that controls most of the functions of the human body. So, if the brain is injured or affected negatively, the whole body will feel its effects and thus, the whole body will suffer. The brain can get injured and suffer damages in a lot of ways, but mainly injuries to the head causes most of the damages. Depending on the severity of the injury, the consequences of a brain injury can be extremely serious and they can even be fatal.
Brain injuries can be varying in their severity. They can be minor temporary problems to catastrophic and life changing injuries. There are different sections in the brain that have their own individual functions. After receiving such an injury, what type of symptoms the injured individual will experience, will depend on that section of the brain that has been injured. Partial or complete physical disability, cognitive disabilities, brain damage, memory loss are just some of the things that a brain injury can cause.
Some of the most common brain injuries that happen because of medical malpractice are:
- Injuries received while delivery or birth
- Difficulties of the general anesthesia
- Surgical mistakes
- Medication or prescription errors
- Insufficient perfusion on lung/heart machine during the CABG or coronary artery bypass graft surgeries
- Compressions of the trachea
- Failure in monitoring and treating very low blood pressure which is a condition known as severe hypotension
If you or anyone of your loved ones has suffered brain injuries because of the negligence or fault of the medical practitioner who was responsible for your/their care, this would be considered as medical negligence or medical malpractice. You must file for medical negligence claims for the injuries you have suffered as a result of someone else’s negligence.
