Stroke in Medical Malpractice Cases
A stroke is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is very important. Early action can reduce brain damage and other complications. The majority of medical malpractice lawsuits related to stroke are based on time – that a doctor or nurse failed to diagnose the stroke in time and, or failed to give the patient the appropriate blood clot medication. The period of time to give a stroke victim the appropriate treatment or medication before major and permanent brain damage can occur. Unnecessary delays can lead to a lifetime of crippling disability, or death, as well as ensuing medical malpractice suits.
