Brain Damage

There are many challenges which must be met surrounding the care and treatment needed for a brain damaged child; not only on the part of the parents of the child, but also on the part of siblings, teachers, therapists and doctors. In addition, the emotional aspects of learning to accept and cope with the demands made by such a child’s condition can be extremely difficult for a family, particularly if their baby’s brain damage was caused by a birth injury due to the negligent care of a healthcare provider.
