What are subarachnoid haemorrhage medical negligence claims?
According to the NHS, a subarachnoid haemorrhage is "an uncommon type of stroke caused by bleeding on the surface of the brain." There are often no warning signs, but a subarachnoid haemorrhage sometimes happens during physical effort or straining. Symptoms can include sudden onset of a severe headache (often described as "the worst headache of my life", nausea and vomiting, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, blurred or double vision, loss of consciousness and seizures.
When a medical professional’s negligence has caused you to suffer a subarachnoid haemorrhage injury, the effect upon you and your loved ones can be devastating and could change your life completely.
If mistakes made by medical professionals have caused you further injury, you may be entitled to subarachnoid haemorrhage compensation.
How do I manage financially before a subarachnoid haemorrhage case has settled?
Interim payments are payments which are made before your case reaches a final conclusion. They can be extremely useful for those who've experienced a subarachnoid haemorrhage injury as they can pay for private medical treatments, rehabilitation support and equipment, as well as providing financial support if you’ve suffered a loss of earnings.
We’ll ensure we secure interim payments for you at the earliest convenience.
