Representing Brain Damage and Medical Malpractice Victims in New York
Effects of Brain Damage
Whether sustained in a car accident or medical procedure, brain damage can range from mild to debilitating. Possible symptoms include irritability, personality changes, memory loss, cognitive impairment, respiratory issues, and paralysis. Symptoms aren’t always immediately noticeable, but, over time, patients may become unable to care for themselves or function normally at work or home. This can lead to lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and a diminished quality of life. Additionally, medical bills can add up as patients seek answers. Those suffering may be able to pursue a case against the negligent party, so it’s important to speak with a medical malpractice lawyer if you or a loved one is in this situation.
Has Your Loved One Been a Victim of Medical Malpractice?
Even when functioning at near-normal levels, expensive, ongoing medical care may still be necessary. An attorney can help your family gain an understanding of your legal rights in New York. Additionally, a lawyer experienced in medical malpractice cases can work to understand whether negligence was involved. If your legal team believes you have a case, they will recommend legal action to hold the negligent party responsible.
New York State limits the amount of compensation one can recover for pain and suffering, but the best lawyers will assess your current and future needs and attempt to secure medical and financial resources to help you meet them. Whether you might expect diminished earning capacity or the need for lifelong medical care, your lawyer will provide legal guidance to help you overcome the challenges ahead.
