Representing Clients Accused Of Causing Shaken Baby Syndrome And Other Child Injuries
Allegations of the endangerment of a child leading to shaken baby syndrome (SBS) can have extremely serious consequences. You could lose your parental rights and face criminal penalties as severe as life in prison. If you have been accused of shaking a baby, it is important to contact an experienced attorney.
At the law office of Robert D. Chase, we protect the rights of clients who have been accused of causing SBS. Attorney Chase has more than 40 years of experience representing clients accused of child abuse and other serious offenses.
Evaluating The Medical Evidence Based On The Latest Science
When an infant comes to the hospital with symptoms such as swelling around the brain and bleeding around the brain and eyes, some doctors will immediately start to suspect SBS. In many cases, they will refer these cases to the authorities for prosecution.
However, recent scientific and medical developments have revealed that there are other medical conditions, including blood diseases and cancers, that can cause these symptoms.
Our office represents parents, child care providers and other clients who have been accused of causing SBS-related injuries and fatalities. We regularly work with independent medical experts to evaluate – and, when appropriate, challenge – diagnoses of this syndrome affecting babies.
Mr. Chase has more than 40 years of experience representing clients in both criminal court and juvenile dependency court. He draws on that experience in shaken baby cases to advise clients on their options and diligently defend them against serious criminal and family consequences.
