Daycare negligence has the potential to happen in any type of environment. Be it a large center, a private home, or even with a nanny inside of your own home, injuries can occur any time your child is in another’s care. As a parent, there is no worse feeling than seeing your child suffer because you couldn’t protect them from injury.
It’s never an easy decision to choose to leave a child in a daycare, trusting that your child will be taken care of and loved just as they would be at home. You go in with the hope that it is a safe environment in which the employees are well-trained, responsible, and supervised at all times. Sadly, this is not every parent’s experience, and children are injured due to negligence, poor training procedures and abuse. If your child has been injured while in daycare in Texas, you need an experienced attorney on your side to fight for you.

Caregivers at daycares, schools, and other similar places have a responsibility to behave reasonably. Reckless, negligent and dangerous practices that can injure children can leave the daycare and its employees vulnerable to civil liability in lawsuits brought about by the families of injured children. These facilities can be held accountable for injuries resulting from their actions/inactions.
It’s important to follow these steps in order to document any injuries your child has incurred at a daycare center: Seek immediate medical attention and document the injuries with pictures, make notes of who was working at the time, then consult with an attorney to determine your next steps.

If you are concerned that something is wrong at your child’s daycare and your child has been injured as a result, reaching out to a knowledgeable Texas daycare injury attorney at Behr Law Firm will help you in determining who is responsible and the type of compensation that might be available to you.
