A PAINFUL FALL AND ITS LASTING CONSEQUENCES We Held a Negligent Daycare Accountable for Their Lack of Supervision
Daycare facilities are designed to offer the same level of care and supervision a parent would provide, ensuring every child’s safety and well-being in a nurturing environment while the parents are at work or away. If they fail to fulfill such a basic responsibility, the safety of every child in their care is put at risk. Picture this: You arrive to collect your child from daycare, only to discover them walking with a limp, in agony because of an injury they got when they were left unattended. This exact nightmare became a reality for one of our clients, whose daughter endured unnecessary suffering due to the negligence of a childcare center. The incident involved a serious lapse in supervision that led to a preventable injury for Kelly ( her name was changed to protect the client’s privacy ). While on the playground, Kelly fell and landed painfully
on her back. The caregiver on duty was distracted, engaged in conversation with their back to the children, and failed to notice Kelly’s fall or her subsequent pain. This lack of supervision meant that no immediate aid was provided to Kelly, nor was the incident reported to her mother. After noticing her daughter’s injuries later that evening, the mother found visible abrasions and bright bruising on Kelly’s lower back. The next day, a visit to the daycare provided concrete evidence from video footage, clearly indicating that the caregiver’s negligence was responsible. That’s when the mom came to The Button Law Firm for help. Not only did we find that the daycare’s staff training and supervision were far from acceptable, but we also discovered that the facility had a list of citations
against them in the past. We meticulously demonstrated how these failures led to Kelly’s physical and emotional distress, significantly impacting her quality of life. Kelly continues to feel the painful aftermath of this incident, as she’s unable to play freely with her family and friends for fear of hurting her back. With the efforts of our firm and Kelly’s loved ones, we were able to get the justice needed to allow Kelly and her family to focus entirely on her recovery, both physically and emotionally. The success of this case is a testament to our commitment to protecting children and ensuring that daycares do not fail in their most basic duties. Although Kelly’s journey to full recovery continues, the resolution ensures that her needs are met as she continues to heal.
BLF HIGHLIGHT REEL
“Russell and Rena are a blessing to work with. Rena can relate so well and at no point did they let me feel lost or like I didn’t know what was going on. Rena made the process so much easier to deal with and I really feel like I have a great team on our side, and they are just such a blessing to have for my son’s case.” CLIENT REVIEW –Skyler Jaggli
