Types of Brain Injuries

  • Hypoxia: One of the most common causes of brain injury is lack of oxygen to the brain or hypoxia. The results of hypoxia can be severe, including memory loss, paralysis, cognitive loss, and brain death.
  • Bleeding brain injuries: Doctors must take special precautions when treating patients at risk of bleeding brain injuries or hemorrhagic stroke. Patients with weakened blood vessels and high blood pressure are especially at risk for this type of brain injury.
  • Blood clots: Surgical errors can lead to blood clots, which travel to the brain and cause catastrophic damage.
  • Untreated stroke: Undiagnosed or mistreated stroke can lead to severe brain injuries.
  • Anesthesia errors: Errors in administering anesthesia can lead to permanent brain damage.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Brain Injury Claim?

A brain injury can have a profound effect on a person's life, impacting their physical well-being and emotional and financial stability. When considering a brain injury claim, it's essential to understand the various damages that may be recovered. These damages encompass economic and non-economic losses, reflecting the full impact on the victim's life.

Medical Expenses: The costs of treating a brain injury can be astronomical. Recoverable damages include expenses for emergency medical care, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, and ongoing therapy.

Lost Wages and Future Earnings: Brain injuries often significantly disrupt a person's ability to work. Compensation may be sought for the income lost during the recovery period and for the anticipated loss of future earnings because of long-term or permanent impairments.

Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages encompass the physical and emotional pain endured by the victim. This category is subjective and may include:

  • Compensation for mental anguish.
  • Loss of enjoyment of life.
  • The overall impact on the victim's well-being.

Loss of Consortium: In cases where a brain injury has strained familial relationships, spouses or family members could seek compensation for the loss of companionship, support, and services that the injured person provided.

How to Determine Liability for a Brain Injury Caused by Medical Malpractice?

Establishing liability is critical to pursuing a brain injury claim, particularly when medical malpractice is involved. At The Becker Law Firm, LPA, our experienced Cleveland brain injury attorneys possess the knowledge and expertise to navigate the complexities of medical malpractice cases.

  • Proving Negligence: Medical malpractice claims often hinge on proving that a healthcare professional or facility was negligent in their duty of care. This negligence may include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, or failure to provide appropriate treatment.
  • Establishing a Standard of Care: To establish negligence, it must be demonstrated that the healthcare provider turned from the standard of care expected in their field. This involves comparing the healthcare professional's actions to what a reasonably competent professional would have done in comparable circumstances.
  • Causation: Establishing a direct connection between the medical professional's negligence and the brain injury is crucial. It must be shown that the negligent actions directly resulted in the injury suffered by the patient.

At The Becker Law Firm, LPA, we understand the deep impact that a brain injury can have on the lives of victims and their families. Our dedication is to vigorously advocate for our clients, holding those responsible accountable for their actions. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, don't hesitate to contact us for a confidential consultation. We provide the legal guidance and support needed to pursue justice and secure the compensation you deserve.

    Right from the very beginning of our case, David Skall and his assistant Jean Witt were both extremely kind and compassionate to help us put closure on a wrongful death case involving my father at a care facility. They were quick to answer any questions that we had and they made sure we were kept in the loop of this entire process. even though we were in the middle of a pandemic, David and his team were able to adapt their technology and make it all work out for our benefit.
