Shaken Baby Syndrome
Working with children can be a difficult occupation that is even more difficult when they behave in a manner that is particularly challenging or when they cry uncontrollably. This can cause a caretaker to become frustrated and even angry at a child, but responding with any form of violence is completely unacceptable.
Shaken baby syndrome (abusive head trauma or AHT) results from the aggressive shaking of a child or another abusive act that involves the rapid and violent movement of the head and neck. The harmful effects of shaken baby syndrome can be permanently debilitating, and in some cases AHT is deadly.
If your child has suffered abusive head trauma inflicted by a day care center employee, then you may be eligible to pursue a civil lawsuit against him or her, or even the facility itself in some cases. Contact the Waco shaken baby syndrome lawyers of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. at 877-948-4842 to speak with a skilled and experienced attorney about your case.
Symptoms and Effects of Shaken Baby Syndrome
Shaken baby syndrome is a genuinely horrific condition. The fact that lifelong medical concerns could be necessitated as a result of a day care center employee’s momentary loss of control and lashing out in anger defies logic. Living with the effects of abusive head trauma will require considerable and ongoing medical attention and some of the symptoms and effects of shaken baby syndrome include:
- Subdural hematoma
- Swelling of the brain
- Retinal detachment
- Fractured bones
- Cognitive impairment
- Coma
