Intra-cranial Hemorrhage

 

Intra-cranial hemorrhages are intracranial bleeding, which occurs when a blood vessel within the skull is ruptured or leaks. This can result from traumatic physical events, such as a head injury, or non-traumatic causes, such as a ruptured aneurysm.

Our medical malpractice lawyers may be able to help: in the medical malpractice content, the hemorrhage itself, or the devastating resulting injuries, may have been avoided with prompt and proper medical intervention. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with an intra-cranial hemorrhage lawyer.

 

 

Medical Malpractice Causing Intra-cranial Hemorrhage

 

There are a number of scenarios in which medical malpractice can cause an intra-cranial hemorrhage or result in the failure to diagnose and treat an existing intra-cranial hemorrhage in a timely manner, causing serious and debilitating injuries. These scenarios include mediation errors, surgical negligence, and misdiagnosis.

Neinstein's team of experienced medical malpractice lawyers carefully review the medical records and consult with qualified experts to determine whether a patient's serious injuries relating to an intra-cranial hemorrhage were due to medical malpractice.

We understand that people who are dealing with a serious injury or adverse outcome can be under a great deal of financial pressure, especially if their condition is affecting their ability to work or requires significant care costs. We are willing to act for seriously injured persons or their families on a contingency basis, which means we will be paid on a percentage of recovery basis when your case is settled or once a verdict is obtained at trial. The percentage rate will vary based on the situation, but you will not pay our legal fees during the litigation. We are only paid if we are successful. We will go through all of this information with you in detail before we start working on your case.

 

There is no set timeframe and complex cases can take years to properly prepare for trial.

Generally, the Limitations Act gives claimants two years from the date of discovery of a legal claim to file said claim. Discovery being when the injured person first knew they had suffered an injury, that the injury was caused in whole or in part by the act or omission of the person the claim is being made against (in this case, a medical practitioner), and that legal proceedings would be an effective resolution/remedy for the injury. While the general limitation period applies to birth injuries as well, it does have one important difference: the limitation period doesn't apply to a child who has not reached the age of majority (18 years old). In other words, if a newborn is affected, until they reach 18 years old or a litigation guardian is appointed in relation to the claim, the limitation period does not apply.
