Brain injuries can be caused by a variety of factors, but when it is a result of medical malpractice, justice should be served.
Brain injuries can be caused by so many different things including car accidents, a bad fall, and sport injuries. These are things that are typically accidental and provide no reason to bring on a lawsuit. However, in some cases, your doctor can be the reason that you suffered a traumatic brain injury. If this is the case, justice should be served. Here is how medical malpractice can lead to brain injuries.
Common Mistakes
Medical Malpractice is when a doctor acts incompetently, which leads to an injury that would have otherwise been prevented. When it comes to mistakes in the medical field, something seemingly as minor as a small misjudgment in medication dosage can lead to a serious brain injury. Other things like mistakes or infection during the actual surgery can also cause brain injuries. If the doctors fails to diagnose a patient correctly or overlooks symptoms of things like strokes, tumors, or brain hemorrhages, it could lead to brain injuries because they weren’t able to act in time.
Birth Injury
Brain injuries as a result of medical malpractice do not only occur in adults. Sometimes, brain injuries will occur during birth and affect the newborn. Brain Asphyxiation is a common cause of brain injuries in infants and occurs when there is a lack of oxygen going to the child’s brain. This could lead to something as serious as Cerebral Palsy. If a forceps and vacuum delivery method is used, putting too much pressure on the baby’s head can also cause brain injuries.
