Brain Injury Caused by Medical Negligence

Brain injuries change everything. One mistake, one delay, misjudgement, or missed diagnosis, and your life or your loved one’s life is never the same.

When a brain injury is caused by medical negligence, you deserve more than sympathy. You deserve answers, accountability, and compensation to build what comes next.

At Marley Solicitors, we help clients and families take legal action against hospitals and medical professionals when catastrophic brain injuries should never have happened.

What is a medically negligent brain injury?

This is when a brain injury occurs because a medical professional failed in their duty of care, and that failure directly caused or worsened the injury.

It’s not just bad luck. It’s negligence. And we’re here to prove it.

Common causes of brain injury due to negligence include:

• Delayed diagnosis or treatment of a stroke
• Failure to detect or treat hypoxia (lack of oxygen)
• Surgical errors, including during neurosurgery or anaesthesia
• Head trauma mismanagement in A&E
• Delayed caesarean resulting in birth-related brain damage
• Untreated infections (e.g., sepsis, meningitis, encephalitis)

The impact: Not just medical

Brain injuries can range from mild cognitive damage to profound and permanent disability. The result is often long-term, or lifelong, support needs.

You or your loved one might face:

• Loss of mobility
• Memory loss or reduced brain function
• Loss of independence
• Personality and behavioural changes
• Inability to return to work
• 24/7 care needs

This is why the law allows for high-value claims, because the cost of care, rehabilitation, and lost potential is massive. And you shouldn’t carry that burden alone.

Do I have a claim?

Ask yourself:

• Did a delay, mistake, or misdiagnosis cause or worsen the brain injury?
• Were warning signs ignored?
• Were scans, tests, or treatments delayed or dismissed?
• Has the hospital admitted fault, or gone silent?

If this sounds like your story, we’ll tell you quickly and clearly if you have a case, no jargon, no runaround.
