PREVENTABLE PAIN, LASTING IMPACT Daniel’s Story and How We Fought for Justice
At The Button Law Firm, we’ve had the privilege of supporting numerous families affected by daycare negligence. One case that vividly stands out involved young Daniel*, whose distressing experience at his daycare stressed the critical importance of vigilant care in child supervision settings. ( *The child’s name was changed to protect their privacy. ) Daniel was only 3 years old when he suffered severe injuries due to the negligence of his daycare providers. A caregiver tasked with Daniel’s safety carelessly closed a heavy classroom door without ensuring he had safely entered the room. Tragically, Daniel’s right ring finger was caught and crushed in the door hinge, leading to a fracture and a deep laceration that required 11 stitches.
trauma following the incident deeply affected him and his mother. She recalls the harrowing sounds of her son’s screams over the phone and the distressing sight of his heavily bleeding finger when she arrived at the daycare. This traumatic experience required an emergency room visit where the extent of Daniel’s injuries was fully realized. To make matters worse, Daniel, a naturally right-handed child, frequently expressed pain during routine activities, impacting his daily life significantly. His emotional well-being took a turn for the worse; he experienced outbursts, showed fear toward his teachers, and struggled to play with other children. To support him, his mother made the heart-wrenching decision to resign from her job and move closer to family out of state for additional support.
In representing Daniel and his mother, our goal was to seek justice for the physical and emotional anguish caused and to highlight the lack of adequate supervision and safety protocols at the daycare. The legal process was about holding the responsible parties accountable and ensuring that such negligence does not happen again, jeopardizing the well-being of other innocent children. Thanks to meticulous legal strategy and dedicated advocacy, we were able to secure a life-changing result that acknowledged the severity of Daniel’s injuries and his ongoing medical and emotional care needs. If your child has been injured due to the negligence of a daycare or childcare provider, remember that you are not alone. Legal support can be a crucial step in seeking justice and preventing similar incidents from happening again.
The physical pain Daniel endured was just the beginning of his ordeal. The emotional

CLIENT REVIEW
“The Button Law Firm has been a blessing since the very first phone call following my accident. They actually took the time to talk with me, giving me a sense of comfort in my already traumatic experience. This was my first major accident and a very odd one at that. With the honest, professional, caring guidance and attention to detail of Kaitlyn, Jacky, Cristina, Lilia, Elizabeth, Eurika, and Russell himself, I knew that I had made the right decision. This was my team, always easy to reach whenever I had questions and not only would they have the answers but they really took the time to explain things. From the ER to the doctors and the therapists, they have assisted me and continue to assist me in every step toward my recovery. I can’t thank them enough for all they do, and even though I pray I won’t need their services again … I will not hesitate, I’m calling Button!”
