A child’s brain is still developing and as such, must be treated with care, at all times. Children roughhousing is a normal thing, but taking falls from heights or having a blunt object hit them in the head is not normal. In addition, children who spend time at a daycare and cannot advocate for themselves must be protected from falls as well as abuse as any type of injury to their head can lead to a cascade of chemical and mechanical reactions which may be subtle and not show up until much later.

Brain injuries in children is a complex yet sensitive topic on account of the delicate state of the still developing child’s brain, and injuries, if not treated comprehensively or in a timely manner may lead to cognitive disability as well as a lifetime of seizures, severe headaches, and even paralysis or cerebral palsy in some cases.

Injuries do not happen organically; many times, it is the negligence of other parties that is the proximate cause of the same and as such, legal remedies may be available with regard to seeking justice and compensation for your loved one, as they will need an advocate that can articulate the lasting impact of their brain injury as well as prove why they must be compensated for the various damages they are seeking, something we would love to help you with.

The Different Types of Pediatric Brain Injuries and Their Effects

Pediatric brain injuries can be divided into several types depending on the causes as well as effects:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

These can either be closed or open head injuries, with the first one due to blunt force impact which doesn’t pierce the skull, and is most common in sports and falls. Open head injuries, on the other hand, occurs when an object penetrates the skull leading to severe damage.

Acquired Brain Injuries

These injuries often occur after birth and are typically caused by factors such as stroke, lack of oxygen or hypoxia and infections

Concussions

These injuries occur due to either violent shaking or a blow to the head such as in the case of child abuse at a daycare center, leading to temporary brain function disruption.

Brain injuries in children can have far-reaching consequences:

1. The child may have their cognitive development disrupted, leading to impaired memory, attention as well as learning difficulties, manifesting as academic issues
2. The child may also show signs of depression and anxiety, leading to mood swings and issues with social interactions
3. The child may also demonstrate behavioral changes and exhibit aggression, impulsivity, as well as withdrawal, making it difficult for them to form friendships and relationships, thereby impacting their quality of life.

What Do You Need to Prove to File a Child Brain Injury Claim?

In order to bring forth a viable pediatric child injury claim, certain factors must be present. First, you must prove that the responsible party had a duty of care in ensuring that the child was kept free from harm.

Then, you must prove that they breached this duty via a negligent act, and that their actions or inaction were the direct cause of your child’s brain injury. lastly, you must be able to quantify the impact of the injury by listing the damages you are seeking on their behalf.

The Role of Expert Testimony in Pediatric Brain Injury Claims

Expert testimony plays a huge role in establishing the viability of these claims and as such, neurological experts may have to be called to provide unique insights into the nature of the injury and its long-term effects of the child’s behavioral and cognitive development.

In addition, their teachers or other educational experts can help the judge and jury how the injury has impacted their ability to receive education as well as the projected long-term effects of the injury.
