As a parent who sends their child to daycare, you have a reasonable right to trust that your child will be well cared for by the staff you have entrusted with your child’s care. However, while socialization and learning are great for young children in these daycare programs, they can come at the expense of their safety when a daycare worker or other party is negligent. If a daycare provider failed to uphold the duty of care owed to your child and their negligence led to your child’s harm, you have the right to pursue justice and hold the liable party responsible by filing a personal injury claim.
At Hersh Kirtman Injury Law, our team of personal injury lawyers has the experience and skills to help clients whose children have been harmed at daycare due to another party’s negligence. Our Florida personal injury law firm provides legal assistance to clients as they seek justice after a daycare accident. We understand that the personal injury claims process can be highly stressful, especially when you are helping your child recover. With a proven track record for success, we will help you recover full and fair compensation for any physical and emotional harm your child may have suffered.
Holding the Negligent Daycare Provider Liable
When a child is hurt due to a negligent daycare worker, or negligence on the part of the daycare center in its entirety, it is highly likely that the same accident that caused your child’s injury will happen again unless changes are implemented and the liable party is held responsible. The best way to ensure the negligence that caused your child’s harm does not continue is to file a personal injury claim with the help of one of our trusted lawyers. When filing a claim, one of the first steps is to collect evidence to prove the liability of the at-fault party.
Various parties may be found liable for your child’s daycare injury. Once one of our lawyers has identified these parties, the next step is to prove their liability. To prove liability in a personal injury claim, you must provide evidence of the four elements of negligence:
- The liable party owed your child a duty of care
- The duty of care was breached by the liable party
- The breach of duty caused your child’s daycare accident and injury
- You have suffered losses as a result
We understand that any case involving a child who has been harmed requires extra care and personalized service. That is why we will work to ensure you have the guidance and knowledge you need throughout the claims process as we collect the evidence necessary to hold the party who caused your child’s harm responsible for their negligence.
Damages You May Be Eligible for After a Daycare Accident Harms Your Child
Learning that your child has suffered because of a negligent daycare provider is upsetting for any parent. However, you have the power to hold the liable party responsible by taking legal action and filing a personal injury claim.
When you file a personal injury claim with the help of one of our daycare accident attorneys, we will ensure you have strong evidence to support your case as you pursue the compensation you deserve. The damages you may be eligible to collect for your child’s daycare accident case include the following:
Medical Expenses
After a child is harmed while at daycare, they may incur costly medical expenses as they receive the medical care they need to heal. This may include hospital bills, surgical costs, or at-home care costs incurred as a result of the injuries caused by the daycare accident. You should be compensated for the cost of these bills. You may also have the right to recover for future medical expenses if your child will need ongoing medical care and treatment as he or she grows and gets older.
Lost Wages
As a parent, if your child has been injured, you may be prevented from being able to work while they recover. As a result, you should be compensated for all present and future wages you may lose as you care for your child.
Pain and Suffering
Children who are victims of daycare accidents and their families should be compensated for all the pain and suffering they have endured due to the negligent party’s actions that caused their harm.
