Arizona Stroke Misdiagnosis Lawyers

Stroke occurs when there is a disruption of blood flow to the brain. During a stroke, part of the brain dies because it doesn't receive the oxygen it needs. Depending on the part of the brain that is damaged, stroke can cause memory problem, vision loss, behavioral changes, or hemiplegia, which is weakness or paralysis on one side of the body. Spastic hemiplegia (hemiparesis) involves spasms or shaking of the affected limbs.

Strokes can affect both children and adults. Infantile hemiplegia can be caused by a disruption in blood flow to the brain during pregnancy, delivery, or during the first months of life. If the brain damage occurs before age two, it is considered cerebral palsy.

Strokes can be caused by traumatic brain injuries occurring in car accidents, bike accidents, and other blunt trauma injuries. Strokes may also be caused by blood clots, hemorrhages and infections such as encephalitis and meningitis. As with any medical condition, prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential.

Symptoms of a stroke include weakness on one side of the body, vision problems, trouble speaking, dizziness, loss of balance, or severe headaches. If you or a loved one experiences any of these symptoms, seek medical help as soon as possible and contact our lawyers for legal assistance.
