Neurology Errors & Malpractice Cases

Neurologists and neurosurgeons treat illnesses, injuries, and disorders of the brain and spine. These specialists frequently rely on diagnostic testing techniques that are constantly advancing. However, this field of medicine often results in malpractice claims where failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, or delayed diagnosis can result in drastic consequences for patients.

Conditions and illnesses that fall under the umbrella of neurology can include:

• Concussions
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Brain tumors
• Parkinson’s disease
• Epilepsy
• Cerebral palsy
• Multiple sclerosis
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Bell’s palsy
• Seizures
• Muscular dystrophy
• Migraines
• Spinal cord injuries
• Strokes

These conditions can include symptoms such as confusion, memory loss, dizziness, loss of motor skills, cognitive failure, tremors, paralysis, coma, learning disabilities, and more resulting in temporary or life-long disability. Thus, proper diagnosis and treatment is crucial. Where specialists are distracted, poorly trained, hurried, fatigued, or inexperienced, mistakes and failures can occur.

Examples of malpractice in neurology can include, but are not limited to:

• Surgical errors and complications
• Birth defects
• Medication errors and reactions
• Failure to monitor a patient
• Faulty or lack of testing protocols
• Faulty treatment protocols
• Emergency room errors
• Referral delays
• Treatment delays
• Inaccurate, unclear, or incomplete patient records
