When you have a child who is suffering from a Traumatic Brain Injury, the complications directly related to their injuries can feel overwhelming. Not only are you dealing with the fact that a child – most often innocently – was injured, but then you have the responsibility of dealing with the healing, emotional concerns, the possibility of long or short-term mental issues – and perhaps just as stressful – the medical bills that are piling up day after day as a direct result of their injury.
Despite all that seems to be going against you under the circumstances, there is help. You can reach out to a Child TBI Lawyer at the Lapidus Law Firm.
Children and Traumatic Brain Injuries
A Traumatic Brain Injury – also known as a TBI – can occur in several ways. It may be a car accident, a truck accident or even a slip and fall accident. However, with a child, a TBI brings with it a whole other set of issues when compared to an adult TBI, because a child’s brain is still developing. Recent studies have shown alarming statistic that concussions (even mild ones) are now linked to suicide, so medical professionals take child traumatic brain injuries very seriously.
