Alaska Brain Injury Malpractice

representation for victims of brain injuries caused by medical malpractice

Brain and head injuries can be devastating and life-changing to both the individual experiencing it and their family members. As brain and head injuries are not easily observed, they are commonly known as “invisible injuries” within medical communities.

Even a seemingly minor brain trauma can cause major health complications in the long run, like lifelong disability that must be met with long-term and constant supervision. Of course, specialized care also comes with steep medical costs, which can create an overwhelming financial impact for the brain injury survivor and their family.

Symptoms Of Brain Injuries

Due to the sensitivity of our brains, most any violent accident can cause a brain injury. Blunt force, sudden jostling and G-forces, and even toxic chemical substances can all cause a brain injury and all of the troubling symptoms that come with it. However, there are also ways that brain injuries can occur as a result of medical malpractice.

Common symptoms of a brain injury include:

• Memory loss
• Confusion
• Disorientation
• Chronic headache
• Dizziness
• Blurred vision
• Speech impairment
• Mood swings

Causes of brain or head Injuries in the Medical Field

Brain injuries can sometimes occur as a result of medical negligence. Common causes of brain injuries in the operating room include:

• Failure to provide proper flow of oxygen to the brain during a procedure (this can occur in a variety of ways, including failure to properly intubate a patient, excessive bleeding, etc.)
• Anesthesia errors including failure to properly monitor a patient
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose a stroke or heart attack
• Improper medication use or prescription
• Infections that go untreated following a procedure
