BROKEN PROMISES AND PAINFUL MEMORIES How Our Team Held This Daycare Responsible for a Preventable Injury

Noah* was only one and a half years old when he was subjected to terrible pain, injury, and trauma at the hands of the daycare that promised to care for him. Every working parent knows that options are often limited when juggling work and parenting, and that’s why daycares exist: to allow parents to feel secure knowing their children are in good hands. This is exactly what a local daycare facility promised Noah’s parent, yet that promise was tragically broken. We all know bottle warmers can be extremely hazardous due to the boiling water they contain. That’s why most states have regulations requiring them to be kept far out of a child’s reach. Unfortunately, in this case, there was not only a complete lack of supervision but also a failure to follow these important safety regulations. Noah was left to play alone, and he knocked over a trash can, causing the

bottle warmer to fall and spill scalding hot liquid all over his legs and body.

Despite the skin on his legs already beginning to peel and his cries of pain never ceasing, the daycare staff did not call for emergency services. The staff notified Noah’s parents but were nonchalant about the whole incident and downplayed the significance of his injuries. It wasn’t until Noah was picked up at the end of the day that he was immediately rushed to the emergency room. As you can imagine, Noah had to receive extended medical care to recover from the severe burns, and his family had to spend even more resources on finding alternative childcare. Liability was clear, and fortunately, we were able to find justice for Noah and his family. While we can’t erase the pain that happened when the bottle warmer fell, we can help them move forward with the justice they deserve.

Holding daycares accountable is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of our children. If your child has ever experienced an injury due to daycare negligence, it’s crucial to seek justice. Our team is dedicated to advocating for families and ensuring daycares are held responsible for their actions. We are here to support you and fight for the justice your family deserves. Together, we can help create safer environments for all children.
