Shaken Baby Syndrome lawsuit

The Keane Law Firm, child injury and child abuse lawyers in California, successfully represented a child who suffered shaken baby syndrome at the hands of an abusive adult.  The child had been abused on multiple occasions before the critical shaken baby syndrome event.  Tragically, people who knew or should have recognized the suspected signs of child abuse failed to report this child's injuries to child protective services.  If the signs of abuse were reported to child protective services, the catastrophic abusive head trauma and shaken baby syndrome could have been avoided.  The Keane Law Firm retained world-renowned child abuse experts, child abuse diagnosis experts, abusive head trauma experts and shaken baby syndrome experts to help them in their successful representation of this child.  The child will be financially secure for life and will have immediate money available to provide therapy, rehabilitation and residential care, as well as structured settlement payments* (*payments totaling up to $4,600,000.00) available over the course of the plaintiff's lifetime to provide future therapy, rehabilitation and residential care. 

Awarded: $4,600,000.00*
