Can brain injury result from medical malpractice or negligence?

It can. Every medical procedure, especially those where you are receiving anesthesia, runs a risk that you may be deprived of oxygen. When your brain is deprived of oxygen, that’s when a brain injury can occur and so there are traumatic brain injuries that do occur during a medical procedure and they may or may not be the fault of the physician. So it’s something you need to consult with a lawyer to determine if in fact there was medical negligence.
