Children with Traumatic Brain Injury
Children with Traumatic Brain Injury
The hard truth is that innocent children can sometimes suffer a substantial amount of harm due to someone else's negligence. Children who suffer from traumatic brain injuries such as concussions need to be treated with more seriousness.
Concussions, like adults, must be treated as soon as possible. Brain injuries of any kind can lead to severe consequences. For example, concussions can build up over time with severe consequences.
Children love participating in organized sports. Thankfully, most youth sports organizations have detailed protocols in place to deal with children who suffer concussions. A child who has suffered a brain injury of this nature should not be permitted to compete again until he or she is cleared by their healthcare provider.
Parents of children with brain injuries could sue an organization, like a school, or youth football league, if they fail to comply with these protocols. An attorney with expertise in brain injury law is necessary for this reason.
Injured Brain Trauma Survivors - Compensation
Traumatic brain injury children victims who prove liability can get essential compensation that allows them to continue their lives after the accident. Although no amount of money can heal your injuries, financial compensation from a lawsuit for traumatic brain injury could cover damages such as:
- Future treatments are needed
- Loss of consortium
- Lost wages (including future wages when a TBI restricts the ability to work)
- Pain
- Mental suffering
- Past hospital and medical bills
- Assistance with daily activities
- Modifications of the vehicle or home
Compensation for traumatic brain injury survivors helps shift some of the burden from the victim to the person or company responsible for the injury.
