Pediatric brain injuries are unfortunately very common in the United States. The effects of these brain injuries are often permanent and can lead to a lifetime of special needs, medical care, and special education.
Common child brain injury causes include:
-Falls—Falls are the leading cause of brain injury for all age groups, especially for children under age 4 years
-Motor Vehicle Accidents—Children age 15 - 19 have the highest rate of automobile-caused brain injuries
-Struck by/Against Events—This category includes sports-related injuries such as being hit with a ball or bat. Young children and adolescents have the highest incidence of sports-related injuries. In fact, between 1.6 and 3.8 million sports-related traumatic brain injuries occur each year.
-Assaults—Adolescents and young adults are the most likely age groups to be involved in assaults, as both the aggressor and the victim. Traumatic brain injuries caused by or involving a firearm are the worst: 9 out of 10 people with a firearm-related traumatic brain injury die.
-Lead Poisoning - Children are especially vulnerable to the effects of lead poisoning for several reasons. First, children absorb lead into their system at a much higher rate than adults. Unlike adults who secrete the majority of lead entering their system, children retain a substantial portion in their system. The child's body accepts the lead into the system believing that it is iron, which is necessary for the development and growth of the child or causing the child to suffer a brain injury.
Quite often, a child's brain injury is due to the negligence of another person or business. In these instances, the child may have legal recourse to be compensated for the injury. However, this does depend on the severity of the injury, the amount of damages can be significant. This is because of the tremendous costs and expenses related to caring for a brain injured child and the loss of a child's earnings over his or her lifetime.
