As a parent, one of the most important decisions you can make is where you will send your child to daycare. It is difficult for a parent to separate from their child in the first place, at the very least, a parent should trust that the daycare they are sending their child to will provide a safe environment where their child can learn and grow.
Unfortunately, injuries and accidents occur often at daycares. This occurs due to the nature of children being unpredictable, but it can also occur as a result of the daycare’s negligence. Daycares have a lot of responsibility in ensuring that your child is safe.
Most daycare injuries result from cuts, bruises, poisoning, burns, choking, and suffocation. Children can fall from playground equipment, touch sharp objects or hot surfaces, choke on small toys, and even poison themselves with common accessible cleaning chemicals.
The good news is that the vast majority of daycare injuries are predictable and preventable. If your child has been injured as a result of daycare negligence, you should contact a lawyer to explain your rights. By being informed, you can choose a daycare that prioritize a nurturing and safe environment for your child. If an injury does occur, knowing your legal rights can help you seek justice and protect your child.
