A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Epidural hematoma is bleeding that occurs between the skull and the membrane surrounding the brain (dura matter). The blood pools up and, if it becomes severe enough, can lead to a number of different conditions such as permanent brain injury, paraplegia, and subfalcine herniation. In some cases, epidural hematoma is caused by medical negligence. In other cases, epidural hematoma damage results from a doctor’s failure to diagnose and treat the condition. A Portland epidural hematoma lawyer can fight for justice for you or your injured loved one.

The majority of epidural hematoma cases are caused by head trauma. Blunt force to the head, particularly force that is strong enough to fracture the skull, can damage the blood vessels and lead to hematoma. Blood thinners or anti-coagulants can also put patients at an increased risk of hematoma. Anti-coagulants, such as “Heparin,” are administered to thin the blood to prevent or treat blood clots. Malpractice-related epidural hematoma could be the result of a mistake during cranial/brain surgery or the result of an improper anti-coagulant dosage.
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.
If epidural hematoma is not diagnosed and treated promptly, it could lead to serious or permanent injury such as increased blood pressure, shortness of breath, brain damage, or death. People who experience epidural hematoma might display one or a combination of multiple symptoms, such as:
As soon as a patient displays these symptoms, they should be tested for epidural hematoma. Diagnosing epidural hematoma might involve a CT scan or MRI scan. Immediate treatment should follow – often surgery is necessary to remove blood and relieve pressure from the brain as well as to stop the bleeding. In some cases, a epidural hematoma may prove fatal and result in a wrongful death lawsuit in Portland.
