Failures to Diagnose — Preventable Strokes — Negligence after Head Trauma
Attorney Scott Sonntag has devoted over 30 years to the medical malpractice field, including 17 years defending medical malpractice claims. Today, our firm applies that experience to advocating exclusively for victims. We are equipped to evaluate any potential case arising from a doctor or other medical professional's:
- Failure to diagnose a tumor or other anatomical abnormality, leading to a stroke and long-term or permanent loss of function
- Failure to diagnose a subdural hematoma or other traumatic brain injury — often in an emergency room setting after an accident
- Surgical error or other mistake that caused brain swelling or bleeding
In evaluating your situation, we focus on determining what went wrong and whether proper medical care would likely have prevented the brain injury or reduced its severity. Scott Sonntag has excellent relationships with many physicians qualified to testify on the standard of care as it applies to diagnosing a specific condition, treating a closed head injury or other medical issue.
If we take your case, we will develop a clear, detailed picture of future needs and target a financial settlement that will make a meaningful difference. We know that money is never fair compensation for a severe impairment. However, a financial recovery can:
- Pay for vocational rehabilitation, adaptive technology and other needs to help an injured person live the most fulfilling life possible
- Replace income lost when a brain injury limits or eliminates a person's employment possibilities
- Allow family members greater freedom and quality of life by paying for necessary care
