The human brain only weighs about three pounds. But I think that everyone would have to agree that those three pounds are the most important ones in our bodies. And if something happens to that little three pound universe such as an injury a person’s whole world can be turned upside down. If it happens to a baby’s brain it is even worse.
Now imagine if your child suffered a brain injury at the hands of someone else. Not only has your child’s life been changed, but it changes your life forever as well. That is what happened to me. We were out having dinner and we had left our 13 month old with a sitter for the night. She called us frantically saying that she had dropped the baby. I called 911, and we rushed home.
The paramedics beat us there, but the damage had been done. But later the doctor told us that the baby had probably not been dropped. This horrible person shook our baby. She shook the baby hard enough that it caused permanent brain damage. So we hired the best brain injury attorney that we could find in Colorado so we could get just compensation. But despite winning a court award of over one million dollars, it doesn’t fix the fact that this girl broke our baby.
