Medical Head Injuries.
A head injury can occur when a medical professional acts negligently or recklessly when treating the head or brain. For example, a surgeon who is charged with the removal of a tumor in or near the brain must recognize that there is a risk of causing injury to the brain and act accordingly.
If a medical professional fails to appreciate the risks associated with head injuries and causes harm to a patient, then that medical professional should be held liable. Contact us today to discuss any injuries you or a loved one may have suffered due to the carelessness of a medical professional.
