Anaesthetic procedures are usually administered effectively and safely by trained medical professionals. However, sometimes errors and negligence can occur, resulting in serious consequences including brain injury. Anaesthetic errors can happen before, during or after surgery, and may involve mistakes such as administering the wrong dosage, improper monitoring of the patient's vital signs, delayed treatment of complications and equipment malfunction.
Brain injuries resulting from anaesthetic mistakes can occur when the oxygen supply to the brain is interrupted, causing brain damage due to hypoxia or anoxia (partial or complete lack of oxygen). The severity and impact of the injury may differ significantly depending on the circumstances and duration of the oxygen deprivation. Patients who suffer anaesthetic-related brain injuries may experience long-term cognitive impairments, physical disabilities, difficulty communicating and other significant life-altering conditions.
If your brain injury occurred due to an anaesthetic mistake and medical negligence can be demonstrated, you could be eligible for compensation. To succeed in a medical negligence claim, it must be shown that the medical professional's actions fell below the acceptable standard of care and directly resulted in your brain injury.
Claiming compensation can help you and your family deal with the financial and emotional challenges caused by the injury. Compensation could cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, specialist therapies, ongoing care needs, loss of earnings, home adaptations and support with day-to-day living.
Due to strict time limitations in place for medical negligence claims, it's important to seek legal advice promptly. Typically, claims must begin within three years from the date you became aware of the negligence and injury. However, certain exceptions may apply depending on your circumstances. Contact Stephensons for specialist advice to understand your situation fully.
