Head Injuries in Children
Children are many things: they are precious, full of promise, and resilient. This resiliency comes in handy during childhood as children experience many injuries as they grow and learn about the world around them. While common injuries are often minor and allow for easy recovery, head injuries are more serious and can result in severe damage. In these more dire situations, an Atlanta child injury lawyer can help you fight for your child’s rights. It is often a trying and emotional experience to fight for your child’s legal recovery while caring for your child in the aftermath of a severe injury, including head injuries.
Common Causes of Children’s Head Injuries
Children by nature are prone to accidents. Some frequent causes of children’s head injuries include:
- Falls – This is a leading cause of emergency injuries for young children.
- Sporting accidents – As children join sports programs, the risk of head injury becomes a growing concern from flying objects and sports contact.
- Vehicular accidents – Car accidents can result in head injuries in both children and adults.
- Playground accidents – Children can experience injury from playground equipment, accidents while playing games, or flying objects striking them, which is a frequent cause of children’s head injuries.
- Daycare and school negligence – Unfortunately, sometimes children will become injured due to the negligence of the adults left in charge of their care.
Regardless of the cause, what is important is helping your child recover and using all available resources to protect your child. This includes having an Atlanta head injury attorney handle legal claims and holding the responsible parties accountable.
Concerns About Head Injuries in Children
Head injuries have some common symptoms and side effects regardless of age, including lack of concentration and changes in mood, behavior, or sleep patterns. In more serious instances, seizures and traumatic brain injuries can result. However, head injuries in children come with additional concerns due to the more delicate physique of children as well as the growing and developing nature of children’s brains. Indeed, children up to age 4 are more at risk of a head injury resulting in a traumatic brain injury. Developmental disruption and delays can affect a child’s growth and require additional medical treatment to help your child recover from their head injury.
