Unique Issues Facing Injured Children
Injuries to children may take a stronger psychological toll than injuries to adults. Psychological effects often involve a deep aversion to whatever caused the accident. For example, a child injured in a pedestrian accident may become afraid to cross the street. A child injured in a car accident may become afraid to ride in cars. The same psychological trauma holds true for a truck accidents as well as dog bites and any other situation in which a child may become injured.
Children may also experience trouble sleeping and nightmares, which can lead in turn to problems at school. Many injured children require therapy to help them cope with the serious trauma they experienced.
If the injury left scars, the child will have to live forever with that physical reminder of the incident. If the scars are visible to others — like on the face, arms or legs — the child will have to cope with appearing "different." In addition, because scars do not grow, scarring can cause complications in the future as the child "outgrows" the scar.
