Helping You Get the Resources You Need After a Brain Injury in Wyoming
The human brain is a remarkable organ. It’s crucial for thinking, moving, and regulating body functions. When a person’s brain is damaged, it can have devastating consequences.
Brain damage can be caused by infection, trauma, or lack of oxygen. And all three of these conditions may result from a medical error. Patients of all ages are vulnerable to medical mistakes that cause brain damage, and this can happen in various settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, and delivery rooms.

How Medical Malpractice Causes Brain Damage
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, administrator, or anyone else working in a medical facility or nursing home harms a patient by breaching the duty of care. To establish that medical malpractice has taken place, your personal injury lawyer will demonstrate that the actions committed were outside the medical standards of care.
Let’s say parents bring their daughter to the emergency room because she is suffering from flu-like symptoms and she also has a rash. It’s standard practice to test a patient for meningitis when she exhibits these symptoms. If the doctor fails to do so, the patient could suffer from brain damage caused by meningitis, and the doctor may be liable for the child’s injuries.
The following lapses in care may result in brain damage:
- A misdiagnosed stroke
- Oxygen deprivation during or after childbirth
- Misidentified seizure disorder
- Anesthesia error
- Surgical error
- Medication errors
- Physical abuse (which happens in nursing homes)
- Patient falls
- Intubation negligence
- A misdiagnosed infection
- Untreated kernicterus (jaundice) in newborns
- Failure to respond to fetal distress
- Failure to perform timely C-section
- Misuse of forceps or vacuum extraction during childbirth
- Failure to provide oxygen to a newborn
Symptoms of Brain Damage
You may notice that your loved one is acting differently or suffering physical ailments after receiving inadequate medical treatment. Detecting and diagnosing brain damage that was caused by medical malpractice requires a second opinion, and it’s best to get one right away.
