For a variety of reasons, parents must often entrust their children to the care of a childcare facility. This requires an extraordinary amount of trust. Regrettably, daycare employees sometimes fail to act in a manner suited to the importance of their duty.

Shaken baby syndrome, also known as abusive head trauma, is a potentially life-threatening condition that typically affects children under the age of two who have been shaken violently.

Our compassionate and committed legal team will help you to fight for the financial compensation that you are due.
Signs of Shaken Baby Syndrome
Infants and young children are susceptible to shaken baby syndrome because their neck muscles have not yet fully developed. As a result, when they are shaken, they are powerless to control the movement of their heads, allowing trauma to the brain, head, and neck.
There are many signs of child abuse, but some of the most common signs of shaken baby syndrome are:
- Breathing problems
- Abnormal irritability
- Retinal detachment
- Vomiting
- Inability or no desire to eat
- Exhaustion
