Daycare Negligence
When putting your child in the care of someone else, it is natural to feel a little uneasy. Unfortunately, many parents confuse mistrust with this natural type of anxiety. If you do not feel comfortable with the daycare facility that you have chosen for your child, you should continue exploring other options. Sadly, there are many daycares that do not provide a satisfactory level of care, which can place your child in harm’s way.
If your child was injured while at a daycare facility, you may be entitled compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other related costs. Contact the Harrisburg personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511 to discuss the details of your case with an attorney.
Research Tips
There are some important factors to consider when you are exploring daycare facilities in your area in order ensure the safety and wellbeing of your child.
- What is the child to adult ratio? (anything beyond 6:1 should be suspect)
- Does the facility appear clean and organized?
- Is the facility equipped with child safety features? (gates, outlet covers, cabinet locks, etc)
While these considerations can help you make an informed decision, they do not guarantee that your child will avoid accidents and injury.
Liability
If your child suffers physical or emotional injury because of his or her experience at a daycare facility, the facility may be liable for damages. Consult our team of experienced personal injury attorneys to determine whether or not negligence can be proven in your case.
