A child’s brain is much softer than a fully developed brain. The possibility of a child suffering a severe brain injury in an accident is much higher than it is for an adult. In addition, a brain injury suffered by a child is more likely to cause permanent brain damage, sometimes leaving the child impaired for life.
Young children often lack the communication skills to report symptoms of a brain injury. Parents are often the first to notice that their child is not himself or herself. Symptoms that a child’s brain injury has occurred include:
If your child has suffered a brain injury, it’s important to seek a doctor’s help as soon as possible. The symptoms may not go away and could be a sign of permanent damage. If your child’s brain injury was caused by the negligence of another party, you should also have your case reviewed by an experienced child injury attorney.

California schools need to pay close attention to the ever-present risk of concussions and other types of head injuries in youth sports. The American Academy of Neurology recently recommended that schools have a certified athletic trainer on the field during games and practices. Every year, there are numerous cases of children suffering serious and life-altering head injuries in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego County schools.
At the Cifarelli Law Firm, our child accident lawyers handle sports injury lawsuits resulting from youths playing tackle football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, field hockey, hockey, and other contact sports. If your child has suffered a head or brain injury from repeated concussions on the playing field, contact us for a free initial consultation.
Repeated concussions can lead to debilitating brain injuries. Schools that fail to take appropriate steps to prevent further injury after a child suffers a concussion on the playing field may be liable for damages. Our lawyers will seek the compensation you need to help your child deal with the challenges he or she will face. From our law office in Irvine, we represent families in Orange County and Southern California and throughout the nation.
Examples of negligence in sports-related concussions include:
Symptoms of concussion can include headache, nausea, dizziness, balance problems, blurry or double vision, sensitivity to light or sound, sluggishness, and concentration or memory problems.
