Brain and head injury recovery for infants and children can be complex

PERSONAL INJURY

Infant & Child Injury Lawyers

Brain and head injury recovery for infants and children can be complex.

The perception that young people are resilient and able to recover faster doesn’t always apply to brain and head injuries. In fact, as a child’s brain is still developing, problems caused by trauma often remain hidden, only to show up later in life, in more complex environments.

According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, acute and long-term risk factors associated with youth and sports-concussions in particular are a major concern, with evidence that multiple mild TBIs may predispose to early onset dementia, later substance-use disorders and mental illness.

When seeking the best outcomes Parsons Corrin LLP child injury lawyers consider your child’s short and long-term recovery needs, so they can feel supported well into their adult years.

Common cases of infant and child brain and head injuries include:

  • Negligent care or medical malpractice in pediatrics
  • Car and bike accidents (infant skulls are more susceptible to damage in an accident)
  • Trauma during childbirth such as: hypoxia (low oxygen levels), anoxia (absence of oxygen), jaundice, difficulties during labour and delivery, low glucose levels or infections.
  • Sporting accidents
  • Child abuse (including Shaken Baby Syndrome)
