Now is when you need a Palm Springs child brain injury attorney most, to analyze your case and present it to the insurance company in question.
Injuries to a child can include drowning in unguarded swimming pools, traffic accidents when children and toddlers wander off, injuries from other children, rough punishment by those in charge of watching the children and other acts of negligence.
In motor vehicle accidents, brain damage injuries commonly occur when the head strikes a hard object either inside a vehicle, or in the case of a bicycle rider or pedestrian, the outside of a vehicle or the roadway.
When a child suffers brain injury, the necessary treatment can be extensive and horrendously expensive. It can require a specialized expertise by surgeons and care givers, and specialized equipment to retrain the child in daily tasks or tasks such as walking and speaking.
The difference between a normal brain injury and one that is considered to be a traumatic brain injury, is that the latter is caused by a trauma such as a car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle or auto accident.
The trauma in traumatic is the striking of the head against a blunt object, such as the interior or exterior of a car, the pavement, another vehicle or even a passenger.
Upon impact with the head or skull, the brain is moved around in the skull, striking it, and causing swelling, bruising, bleeding or other damage to the brain.
Symptoms of traumatic brain injury can include short term or long term memory loss, dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, vertigo, headaches, difficulties with smell or speech, changes in personality and mood swings, difficulty performing simple tasks and a host of other problems.
With closed-head injuries, a person can receive injury to the brain yet have no outward signs of bleeding or swelling to the head. When the head is struck in just the right way in the right places, damage can occur to the brain.
Additionally, the brain can become bruised in a whiplash type injury as the brain is whipped back and forth in the head and the resulting swelling can cause the same symptoms. Once the brain is bruised or begins to bleed after being struck against the skull, brain damage can occur.
Unfortunately, traumatic brain injury often goes unnoticed and undiagnosed until the symptoms become more pronounced. A person can go days before symptoms of brain damage are noticed and more severe symptoms of brain damage appear. This can be the result of carelessness by medical providers in their initial examination of the accident victim and/or the result of swelling in the brain that begins to cause more severe problems.

Child care facilities and day care facilities and the like will often have a million dollar liability policy or insurance in an even larger amount. Public entities such as schools have an unlimited amount of coverage since they are self-insured, however, a claim must be made within six months of the injury whenever a public entity is involved. As an attorney who analyzes the liability of day care centers, Palm Springs Child Brain Injury Attorney Sebastian Gibson can make a sound decision as to their liability for your child’s injuries.
There can be multiple defendants in a child brain injury. There may be the day care or child care facility or school, the individuals involved, any vehicle insurance if the accident occurred on the road, and if any other parties or items owned by other parties such as a dog were involved, the owners of those items or animals and consequently their insurance companies.
While brain damage from a brain injury can be less severe, in many cases the damage requires long-term medical care and around-the-clock supervision by a care giver or family members.
Specialized equipment is needed for the victim of an accident with a brain injury and in severe cases, the victim can expect an extended period of time when they will be unable to work and will incur significant wage loss.
Often an individual with brain damage must relearn how to live and perform daily tasks with their now limited capabilities.
