How we handle a childcare negligence case

  • Handling these cases with care.We understand how difficult these situations are for a family and approach them with sensitivity and discretion.
  • Investigating the facility.We examine supervision, staffing ratios, hiring and screening, training, and compliance with licensing and safety requirements.
  • Preserving the evidence.Incident reports, staffing records, video, and licensing records can be lost quickly, so we move early to preserve them.
  • Documenting the harm.We coordinate the medical and other documentation so the full impact on the child is presented.
  • Pursuing accountability.We pursue full and fair compensation from the facility and its insurer on behalf of the child and family.

Why childcare negligence cases are different

Facilities that care for young children have a serious responsibility to supervise them and follow safety and licensing requirements. These cases often involve regulatory standards, staffing and screening records, and a heightened duty toward vulnerable children. (Attorney to verify the applicable standards before publish.)

Protecting children and holding facilities accountable

Behind these cases is a facility and its insurer, and our job is to investigate what went wrong and hold the responsible parties accountable on behalf of the child and family, with care for what the family is going through.

Frequently asked questions

What is daycare negligence?

Daycare or childcare negligence can arise when a facility fails to reasonably supervise children, maintain safe conditions, follow staffing and licensing requirements, or properly screen and train staff, and a child is harmed as a result.

What should I do if my child was hurt at a daycare?

Make sure your child gets any needed medical care, and if you can, request the incident report and note what you were told. Keep records and photos. Because facility records can be lost, it helps to speak with a lawyer early.

Who can be responsible?

Depending on the facts, responsibility may involve the facility and its owner or operator. Identifying every responsible party is part of the investigation. (Attorney to confirm.)

How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?

Georgia sets limited deadlines for injury claims, and timing rules involving a minor can differ, so you should get advice promptly. (Attorney to verify the deadlines, including any that apply to a minor, before publish.)
