Austin Shaken Baby Syndrome Lawyer
While it may not leave visible signs such as cuts or bruises, shaken baby syndrome (SBS) can have devastating consequences. Many times, victims of SBS do not show visual indicators of their suffering, which can be especially worrisome considering that the mortality rate for infants can be as high as 38%. With the number of victims in the United States approximated at 1,600 children per year, shaken baby syndrome is a serious concern for any parent relying on daycare workers.
If your child has been injured while in the care of another, you may be entitled to pursue legal action. While no measure of compensation can recover the full extent of suffering an abused child goes through, alleviating the financial burden associated with treatment and care can allow you to spend more time with your family to heal some of the emotional wounds.
