A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Any brain surgery creates some risks, but those hazards are much lower with today’s advanced technology and exceptional techniques. If you are dealing with memory loss associated with brain surgery, it is critical to understand why and what could have happened. Moreover, you may have the right to pursue a Portland traumatic brain injury lawsuit for your losses if you can show your treatment was medical malpractice. Talk to a lawyer at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys, PC, today.
Memory refers to the process of capturing information, analyzing it, and remembering it later. There are two main types of memories: short and long-term. If you are in an accident that causes brain damage, such as a truck or car accident, you could lose that portion of your brain that stores memories. That damage can lead to memory loss.
Another factor that plays a role in this is your actual recovery process. For example, many people with brain surgery have a tumor removed. When that tumor is removed, there are often serious radiation and chemo appointments. Those medications and treatments can cause damage to the brain tissue as well, and that can lead to memory loss.
If you had a brain surgery in which a doctor removed a tumor, they may have had to remove cells and portions of your brain because of the location of the tumor. The location of the tumor is nearly always a very important part of this process. Unfortunately, you cannot know what types of memories you may lose.
Other factors may cause short-term memory loss after brain injury. For example, some people experience brain swelling after a procedure. That will create intense pain and discomfort, but at the same time, it is putting strain on your brain tissues. If memory cells are in that area, they could be impacted. Many times, those memories will come back once the treatment is in place.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
It is possible that the memory loss you are experiencing could be directly related to medical malpractice. That can occur in situations where a victim suffered an injury to their brain due to the mistake of the surgeon. Medical malpractice is very difficult to prove, but with the right legal team, you can try to get some level of compensation for your losses.
For example, if a doctor operated on the wrong area of the brain, damaging healthy cells, they may be responsible for those mistakes. If the doctor was not careful during the procedure or was reckless, they may also be responsible for the injuries caused.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
