What if my child is injured at day care?

We entrust our children to day care facilities expecting them to be kept safe while we are at work. But what happens when our child is injured or involved in an accident at a child care facility?

Wham and Rogers, PLLC – Personal Injury Attorneys (832) 592-1108.

Houston Day Care Injury Attorneys

There are nearly 11 million children enrolled in child care programs each year in the U.S.

The number of children that are injured each year at day care centers is actually quite alarming.

Day Care Injury Factors

Choke hazards
Unsafe cribs, cots, and beds
Unsafe playground facilities
Improper maintenance & cleaning practices
Improper use of child safety gates

If your child is injured at a day care center, you should document exactly what happened. Be sure to make careful notes documenting all communications with the facility.

Take adequate photos to document the injury and possibly the cause of the injury.

Many times, the parents become important damages witnesses in a child injury lawsuit. Therefore you should keep notes of your child’s symptoms throughout the injury and recovery period.
