How can we help?
When medical professionals fail in their duty of care to monitor a patient's condition adequately, it can lead to severe complications, including brain injury. An injury of this kind can significantly impact the patient's quality of life, resulting in long-term cognitive, physical and emotional challenges.
At Stephensons, we specialise in supporting individuals and families affected by brain injuries caused by medical negligence, including failure to monitor situations effectively. Call us today on 0161 696 6165 or alternatively fill in our online enquiry form and a member of our team will be in touch to discuss your potential claim.
A brain injury resulting from failure to properly monitor a patient occurs when healthcare professionals neglect to observe, assess or respond adequately to a patient's condition. This negligence can involve failing to conduct regular checks, missing essential warning signs, disregarding worsening symptoms or delays in treatment that result in avoidable injury and lasting harm.
Common scenarios include the failure to monitor oxygen levels, heart rates, and blood pressure, or neglecting timely intervention for patients at risk of developing serious conditions such as strokes, haemorrhages or hypoxic brain injuries. When such failures happen, the consequences are often severe, altering the patient's life permanently and causing emotional, physical and financial hardship for patients and their families.
Yes, if you or a loved one have suffered a brain injury as a result of inadequate monitoring or observation by healthcare professionals, you may be entitled to claim compensation. To succeed in a claim, it must be demonstrated that the healthcare provider breached their duty of care and that this negligence directly contributed to or caused the brain injury.
A compensation claim may recover funds to cover medical treatment, rehabilitation, special equipment, loss of earnings, care and support, as well as compensation for pain, suffering and emotional distress.

You will typically need medical records, evidence of the negligent monitoring or care provided, expert medical opinions to show negligence contributed to the injury and documentation of your ongoing needs and losses.
Yes, usually you have three years from the date of the injury or from the date you became aware negligence occurred to begin legal action. However, exceptions exist, particularly in cases involving children or those without capacity to litigate, so it is important you seek professional legal advice as early as possible.
Medical negligence claims, particularly brain injury claims, can be complex and often take years to resolve fully. The timeframe depends on factors like the severity of injury, liability acceptance by the defendant, and the complexity of evidence required. Our solicitors will offer guidance on expected timelines at an early stage.
Most medical negligence claims do not result in court trials and are settled by negotiation.
