Brain Injuries

If you or someone you care about suffered a brain injury due to medical malpractice in Kentucky, you can turn to us, Clare & Berry. We have more than three decades of experience fighting for justice and full compensation for those injured by:

• Anesthesia Errors: Improper use of anesthesia can result in insufficient amounts of oxygen reaching the brain, in turn resulting in brain damage.

• Strokes: An embolic or ischemic stroke that is not diagnosed and treated promptly can lead to permanent injury.

• Infections: Post-surgical infections, sepsis, meningitis and other infections must be treated swiftly and effectively. Meningitis, for instance, causes the brain tissues to swell. The increased pressure can lead to brain damage.

• Failure to Order Emergency C-Section: Any delay in ordering a necessary C-section during a difficult birth can potentially result in fetal brain injury.

• Umbilical Cord Issues: An umbilical cord that wraps around the baby's neck or exits the birth canal first may cut off the blood supply — and hence the oxygen supply — to the baby's brain.
