An estimated 475,000 children in the United States suffer from brain injuries that can change their lives forever. Traumatic brain injuries are unfortunately common in young children, most often due to a birthing injury. Their doctor may have incorrectly used a birthing tool or failed to catch their irregular birthing position on time, resulting in a loss of oxygen to the brain. Some brain injuries go away with time, while others can result in permanent disabilities and the requirement of long-term care. 

When your child’s brain injury is the direct result of a doctor or other healthcare professional’s negligence, you are entitled to file a medical malpractice claim for damages. Nobody deserves to pay the financial or emotional price of a trusted professional’s recklessness. The team of knowledgeable and compassionate medical malpractice attorneys at Davis & Davis are here to help by providing our years of experience to help you recover the compensation you deserve. 

How to Support a Child With a Brain Injury

When it comes to supporting a child with a brain injury, there are many ways in which you can ensure they are in good emotional and physical condition. Depending on the severity of the injury, the child may have to spend some extra time in the hospital to receive treatments, so ensuring they are always surrounded by family members or friends during this time is pivotal. While at home, you can help by: 

  • Providing emotional support
  • Providing physical and medical support
  • Doing research on their injury and any possible side effects
  • Exercising patience
  • Finding local support groups

Sometimes, a brain injury can lead to permanent motor and learning disabilities. In cases like this, there are many resources available to help understand how you can best cater to your child’s specific needs.
