Medical malpractice is the most common cause of lawsuits filed by harmed patients against doctors.

The patient may suffer irreversible and long-term damages if the attending physician is careless or reckless.

• Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries include diffuse axonal injury, which occurs when the head is violently shaken or rotated and can result in brain damage, coma, and death.
• Damages for Injuries : Patients and their families have the right to sue for the damages that frequently result from brain injuries.
• Damages for Fatalities: If a patient dies as a result of a fatal mistake made by the attending physician, the family members might initiate a wrongful death case.
• Punitive Damages: The lawyer must show that the doctor was exceedingly careless and negligent. Punitive damages are intended to punish the wrongdoer in order to help avoid future injuries to others.
