A proven record of verdicts and settlements
The brain is such a delicate organ with ample protection around it. Yet, there are times when surgery is necessary. If something goes wrong in those instances, it may be due to medical malpractice. There are various factors to think about here, including whether brain surgery caused aphasia to develop. Talk to a Portland traumatic brain injury lawyer at Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys, PC, today.
A tumor can develop in various areas of the brain’s tissue, and if that is in a sensitive area like the part of the brain that controls speech and thinking processes, there is a risk that the tumor itself caused the aphasia. However, some studies indicate that about a third of people who have this type of surgery to remove tumors from the brain end up with some level of aphasia or another stroke-related condition.
Many people struggle with language impairments right after surgery because of the sensitivity of this area. The type of impairment a person may experience is dependent on where the damage occurred and, therefore, where the surgery happens. Some of the reasons why this can happen include:
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.
Many people experience aphasia after a surgical procedure, but for others, it may go on for some time and last the rest of your life. You need to get full medical care and support for yourself as soon as possible. Sometimes, it can take some time before the need for surgery occurs.
Aphasia itself does not happen after, for example, a car accident. Instead, it occurs as a result of what’s happening around the brain’s language center. For example, if you have an open wound on your head, it allows debris and bacteria to get into the tissue. Some of this can cause you concerns.
Other times, an accident, such as a truck accident, can be the underlying cause. It may cause a traumatic brain injury that ultimately leads to swelling and pressure on the brain. This can then lead to the onset of aphasia as well. Any type of accident involving a strike to the head can result in a brain injury requiring medical support and guidance.
