How can we help?
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common yet serious medical condition that requires prompt diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. When healthcare professionals fail to appropriately manage high blood pressure, the consequences can be devastating, potentially causing severe brain injury.
At Stephensons, our expert medical negligence solicitors specialise in supporting individuals and their families who have suffered brain injury due to the negligent treatment of hypertension. Call us on 0161 696 6165 or fill in our online enquiry form and a member of our team will contact you.
High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls remains too high, increasing the risk of serious health complications. Left untreated, uncontrolled hypertension can cause weakened blood vessels in the brain, leading to conditions such as haemorrhagic stroke, aneurysms or other life-altering brain injuries.
A brain injury resulting from untreated hypertension may cause long-term neurological damage, impairing your cognitive abilities, speech, movement and overall quality of life. Medical professionals bear the responsibility to monitor and treat high blood pressure effectively, ensuring such severe risks are mitigated. If they fail in their duty and you suffer harm as a result, this may constitute medical negligence.
If you or a loved one have sustained a brain injury due to medical professionals failing to adequately treat or manage hypertension, you may be entitled to compensation. To claim successfully, it must be demonstrated that your healthcare provider breached their duty of care and that this negligence directly resulted in your brain injury.

Stephensons provides comprehensive legal support, offering clear and practical advice tailored specifically to your circumstances. We begin by assessing your situation thoroughly during a confidential consultation, identifying the merits and potential value of your claim.

You will need medical records, expert medical opinions, and proof of the care received to show negligence occurred and directly caused your brain injury. Our solicitors will assist in gathering and organising this essential evidence.
Generally, claims must be made within three years from when the negligence occurred or when you became aware of your injury caused by negligence. Exceptions apply, particularly in cases involving minors or individuals lacking mental capacity. Talk to our solicitors to clarify your deadlines.
The duration of each claim differs based on complexity, the availability of evidence, and whether the defendant admits or disputes liability. Our solicitors strive to resolve claims as efficiently as possible whilst ensuring your best interests are prioritised at all times.
If your loved one lacks the mental capacity or has sadly passed away due to medical negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation on their behalf. Our team will advise and guide you sensitively through this process.
