Developmental Delays

Los Angeles Medical Malpractice and Negligence Lawyer

If your child is having trouble walking, talking or crawling, it may be a sign that he or she is experiencing developmental delays.   While developmental delays in children can be caused by genetic abnormalities, a metabolic error, or a maternal problem (e.g., drug use, alcoholism), many times developmental delays are a reaction to a serious injury or medical condition.

One of the leading causes of developmental delays in children is brain injury.  Premature delivery and complications during an otherwise “normal” delivery can also lead to developmental delays.   In some cases it’s very clear that a child is developing more slowly than other children his or her age.  In other cases, developmental delays may not be apparent until the child reaches toddler or preschool age.  Sometimes a child will develop normally until a certain age, but then begin to digress.
