WE HELPED A MOM DEFEND HER CHILD The Story Behind Mallory’s Daycare Injury
Every parent’s worst fear is that something will happen to their child when they aren’t there to protect them. That instinct drives us to babyproof our homes and set curfews for our teenagers. But there’s one place where moms and dads shouldn’t have to worry about their children’s safety: Daycare. Unfortunately, even those “professional” environments aren’t always safe. Our team recently handled a case for a mother and small child (we’ll call her Mallory) who learned that the hard way. Mallory’s mother worked a demanding job, so she left Mallory at a Texas daycare during work hours. She assumed that this daycare was full of experienced, well-trained, morally upright people — but she was wrong.
In the summer of 2021, a daycare worker yanked Mallory from underneath a table
learned, the more dismayed we felt. Clearly, this daycare was a dangerous place for kids, and Mallory’s injury was just the tip of the iceberg. Our team championed Mallory and her mom in court and argued that the daycare should be held accountable for all of the damages they caused to this little child and her family. All of the facts were on our side, and the decision came down in our favor. We secured justice for Mallory’s family and revealed the daycare for the shoddy place it was. Here at BLF, our team advocates for families like Mallory’s every day. If you or a family you know is going through this type of conflict with a daycare, turn to Pg. 4 of this newsletter for help.

by the arm and shoved her against a wall. They used so much force they actually dislocated her elbow . Then, they left Mallory to sob over her painful injury all day without treatment.
When Mallory’s mom arrived to pick her up, she immediately called the police, but they couldn’t turn back time and heal her daughter’s trauma. So, she turned to us for help. We don’t have time-traveling powers either, but we dug into the daycare’s history and uncovered years of citations issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The more we
BLF HIGHLIGHT REEL
“Russell and his entire team have been amazing since day one. In 2019 I had a traumatic experience with a trauma surgeon in which mistakes were made that cost me full use of my wrist. I was referred to the Button Law firm by an attorney who I trusted very much. I can’t lie I was upset at first when my case went to Russell. That lasted all of one phone call as Russell and his entire team immediately showed me how knowledgeable, professional and caring they were. I never felt like I was on a ‘clock’ while speaking to them and they always had time to answer my questions, calm my fears and guide my wife and I through this process. Russell and his team made sure that I had every expert needed and didn’t waste my time for the sake of having something extra, just what was needed. Even during my lowest and most frustrated part of this process and my healing Russell took the time to call me, as a friend and not an attorney, and talk me through the rough spots. They don’t take every case that comes to them so consider yourself lucky if they are the team you get. I would recommend them to friends, family and total strangers as someone who will work hard on your case, care not only about the results but you as well, and always be honest and transparent with you.” CLIENT REVIEW
