Common Causes of Brain Injury Due to Medical Negligence
A brain injury can be caused by anything that disrupts blood flow to the brain or damages brain tissue. You may be entitled to claim compensation if your injury resulted from avoidable medical mistakes, including:
- Delays in diagnosing or treating infections (e.g. meningitis, encephalitis)
- Lack of oxygen during birth or surgery, leading to cerebral palsy or other conditions
- Failure to diagnose and treat:
- Hypoglycaemia
- Severe dehydration
- Brain haemorrhage
- Brain tumour
- Stroke
- Prescription errors or inappropriate medication
- Surgical errors leading to oxygen loss or complications
- Severe head trauma from road traffic accidents
We recommend seeking legal advice as soon as possible, though you usually have up to three years from the date of injury (or date of knowledge) to make a claim. Exceptions apply for children or those lacking mental capacity.
Types of Brain Injury Claims We Handle
Stroke Mismanagement
Failure to recognise stroke symptoms or delays in administering clot-busting drugs or surgery can result in preventable brain damage. Early intervention is critical.
Infection related brain injuries
Conditions like meningitis or encephalitis can cause swelling, seizures, and long-term neurological damage if not treated quickly. Delayed diagnosis or inadequate care may lead to a claim.
Birth Injuries and Cerebral Palsy
Oxygen deprivation during birth due to delayed delivery, poor monitoring, or mismanagement can cause lifelong disability. We support families through complex birth injury claims.
Metabolic or Dehydration-related Injuries
Inadequate monitoring of low blood sugar or severe dehydration can lead to brain damage, especially in vulnerable groups like newborns or elderly patients.
Medication and Surgical Errors
Prescribing or administering the wrong medication, or errors during surgery, can result in brain injury through bleeding, infection, or oxygen deprivation.
