Medical Negligence Leading to Brain Damage

Any injury to the brain is a devastating, life-changing event, often resulting in physical disability and neurological impairment. Initial symptoms of a brain injury can be subtle or profound. Symptoms include loss of short term memory, loss of mental orientation, loss of balance and coordination, loss of motor functions, paralysis, vertigo, dizziness, fatigue, mood changes, personality changes, vision defects, hallucinations, tremors, and many more. If you suspect brain injury following a medical procedure, or due to any kind of medical negligence, a Michigan medical malpractice attorney can assist you.

Some of the causes of brain injury due to medical malpractice are:

Anesthesia overdose
Failure to diagnose and timely treat brain tumors
Failure to diagnose and timely treat meningitis
Excessive medication causing respiratory depression
Failure to diagnose and timely treat heart disease
Failure to maintain adequate brain perfusion during by-pass surgery
Negligence during the birth process resulting in cerebral palsy
