What Caused The Injury?
If day care facilities are not child-proofed, clean and supervised, accidents and serious injuries are more likely to occur. Some of the most common injuries at day care facilities include:
- Choking hazards
- Unattended children
- Ingesting a toxic substance
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Falls
- Burns
- Emotional, physical or sexual abuse
When children are injured in these ways, the effects may last a lifetime. The injuries may be physical and/or emotional. Your child deserves compensation for their experience. We can explain how this works in Minnesota and Wisconsin. You may also pursue compensation for the medical treatment necessary after a serious injury.
In-home day cares and day care centers each have issues that can lead to injuries. Inadequate staffing or inexperienced staff are common problems for day care centers, while in-home day care often has a lack of childproofing and safety features. In-home day care also may have other people who are not on staff with access to the children.
Can You Sue If Your Child Was Injured At Day Care?
Yes, but not in every situation. As with many other personal injury cases, the key lies in negligence and fault. If you believe that the daycare staff was negligent, you can seek compensation.
Exactly what negligence looks like is going to differ from one case to the next. Perhaps your child suffered a playground injury while the daycare center was understaffed. No one was watching them play, and no one was there to keep them safe. You may claim that the staff members themselves were negligent for not paying close attention. The owner could be held liable for not hiring enough staff members.
You trusted the daycare workers to protect your child and give them a safe environment. If workers allow dangerous conditions or don’t follow safety guidelines, injuries occur.
There are some cases where actions taken by staff members could cause a child’s injury. If you believe that some of the staff members have engaged in physical abuse or emotional abuse. If they have done something that directly harmed your child, you can sue to seek compensation.
The childcare facility may be responsible for your child’s medical bills. Any long-term medical needs and the pain and suffering your child endured will also be considered. This is important in cases that lead to a life-changing disability or disfigurement.
Not only do you need compensation for your family’s costs, but it is important to hold child care workers responsible for negligence. Other children need not suffer the same injuries. Taking action now could keep someone else’s child safe.
An experienced daycare injury lawyer can help you consider your options. Together you can take the appropriate steps moving forward.
