Has Your Child Been Injured at Daycare?

|

The first children’s daycare facility in the United States was established in New York in 1854. Since then, the New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has worked closely with various organizations to enact the proper legislation to ensure the safety of our state’s children.

A school or daycare facility is legally required to provide adequate care and supervision for the children in its charge. When daycare employees and owners fail to do so, children can be exposed to harmful conditions that may result in serious injury or death.

Common childcare injuries include:

  • Injuries from playground equipment
  • Choking on toys or food
  • Physical or mental injuries
  • Allergic reactions

These injuries are often caused by:

  • Inadequate supervision
  • Child neglect and/or abuse
  • Failure to implement safety measures
  • Failure to provide medical treatment
  • Transportation negligence
  • School bus accidents
  • Inappropriate sexual contact

When a child suffers a serious injury, they run the risk of developing various physical and mental issues as they age. Undiagnosed or untreated injuries can lead to permanent physical and mental damage. If you suspect that your child may be the victim of an accident while at school or daycare, do not hesitate to seek medical attention.

If your child has been injured or killed while at daycare, you likely have a personal injury or wrongful death claim. While no one can reverse the harm inflicted upon your child, you can hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
