Pregnancy is often an exciting time for expectant parents. Unfortunately, some situations can cause serious harm to the baby, including the possibility of brain damage during the labor or delivery process. Infant brain damage is usually caused by either a lack of oxygen or head trauma during delivery.
It is essential to understand how these injuries are diagnosed, what the causes are, and what long-term conditions brain damage could cause. Our team at Aldous \ Walker is determined to help our clients understand these factors so they can seek the legal remedy they need.

Understanding the Signs and Symptoms of Infant Brain Damage
Recognizing the early signs of infant brain damage is crucial for parents to ensure prompt medical attention and intervention. Symptoms may vary depending on the severity of the injury and can appear shortly after birth or develop as the child grows. Key signs include:
- Newborn Symptoms:
- Seizures or involuntary movements
- Excessive crying, irritability, or inconsolable behavior
- Difficulty with feeding or sucking reflex
- Developmental Delays:
- Challenges with reaching milestones, such as sitting up, crawling, or walking
- Issues with fine motor skills, like grasping objects or pointing
- Difficulty focusing on or following objects with their eyes
- Physical Indicators:
- Abnormal muscle tone (either overly stiff or too floppy)
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Difficulty sleeping or maintaining a consistent sleep pattern
Early detection can help in pursuing appropriate medical care and therapy and, if necessary, exploring legal options to address the associated costs and needs.
Common Conditions Associated With Infant Brain Damage
If a baby suffers brain damage as a result of some kind of birth injury, it can cause severe conditions in the immediate and long-term future, depending on the severity of the brain damage. Unfortunately, when this happens, many treatment options may not be available. Mild infant brain damage can result in some mood changes and possible behavioral problems.
Severe infant brain damage can result in the following conditions:
- Cognitive issues
- Psychological problems
- Physical disabilities
- Seizures
- Heterotopic ossification
These are serious issues that can last a lifetime. It is important to seek legal representation to help cover the costs of these damages, such as medical bills and any modifications that may be needed for the family’s home or vehicle.
