Daycare
School
Cars
Playgrounds
Amusement parks
Gyms

Pursuing compensation for daycare negligence

When parents or guardians take their children to daycare, they are often asked to sign a waiver, including a liability clause. You do not have to sign this document, and even if you do, you can still file a claim for the injuries your child sustained.

If your child was injured because of daycare negligence, some elements must be proven:

Your child was enrolled in daycare, where the owners had a duty of care to your child
The employer at the daycare or a member of their staff breached (violated) the duty of care
Your child’s injuries were directly caused by the breach of care
Your child suffered substantial damages as a result of the incident

Below are some examples of daycare negligence for which you may file a claim:

Your child was injured on defective or rusty playground equipment
Your child had food allergies that were ignored
Your child was given unclean water or stale food
Children were not properly supervised
There were sharp or hazardous materials within your child’s reach
Employees at your child’s daycare were not adequately screened

Financial compensation for injuries to children

A significant injury can potentially require daily nursing care for the rest of a child’s life. Even with health insurance, families can quickly reach their lifetime coverage limit. At Frenkel & Frenkel, our experienced lawyers and medical experts can help define the actual lifelong cost of an injury for an insurance company to help you and your child receive compensation.

The compensation you could be awarded in such a claim would depend on several factors, including:

The amount of money you have paid thus far for your child’s medical care
The expected cost of future medical needs
The cost of your child’s rehabilitation
The impact your child’s injury will have on their learning abilities or ability to earn a living once reaching adulthood
How much time you had to miss work because of your child’s injury
