Daycare Injury in Texas

Daycare injuries are a significant concern in Texas, with serious incidents reported regularly. For 2023, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission reported more than 900 serious injuries in various daycare settings throughout Texas. They also reported 11 near-fatal incidents and 6 fatal incidents.

These alarming statistics are a reminder that when a daycare provider fails to protect a child, pursuing legal action may be necessary to hold them accountable. If your child has been harmed due to negligence, reach out to Loewy Law Firm to secure the justice and compensation your family needs.

Types of Daycare Negligence

Those entrusted with the care of children must take every precaution to ensure their safety. Our team will identify the failures that led to your child’s injury. Some common types of negligence include:

Failure to ensure safe conditions: Daycare providers must proactively identify and eliminate hazards. If an on-site danger caused your child’s injury, the daycare is at fault
Employing unlicensed or unfit employees: Childcare facilities must meet licensing requirements. If the daycare employed unlicensed or unqualified staff, we will document this negligence.
Failure to supervise: Inadequate supervision is a common issue. Whether due to staff shortages or distractions, failing to monitor children closely is negligent.
Failure to inform parents of potential hazards: Parents have the right to know about risks, such as mistreatment by other children. Withholding this information can endanger your child further.
Abuse or neglect by staff: Abuse and neglect are clear grounds for legal action. We will hold the daycare accountable if they fail to meet the high standard of care required.
Failure to care properly for children with special needs: Daycares must meet the specific needs of children with special needs. Failure to do so can warrant a claim for compensation.

Whether your child’s injury was caused by one of these or another form of negligence, you may have grounds for legal action. The Loewy Law Firm is ready to evaluate your case and discuss the steps needed to pursue justice for your child. Contact us today to learn more about your options.

Our Strategic Approach to Securing Justice for Your Child

Attorney Adam Loewy understands that you and your family want to move forward from this unfortunate situation as quickly as possible. Our priority is to secure fair compensation for you and your child, and we will work toward that goal by doing the following.

Building a Strong Case with Evidence of Negligence

To secure compensation, we must prove that the daycare’s negligence directly caused your child’s injury. This requires demonstrating four key elements: the daycare had a duty of care to protect your child, they breached that duty, this breach directly caused the injury, and the injury resulted in damages. Attorney Adam Loewy and his team will gather all necessary evidence to support these elements, which may include:

Video footage of the incident(s) that caused your child’s injury
Eyewitness testimony regarding how the injury occurred
Expert testimony on what the daycare could have done to prevent the injury

Attorney Loewy is skilled at identifying and preserving evidence of negligence. We will act quickly to secure this proof, as a daycare may attempt to dispose of evidence before we can obtain it.

Forming a Personalized Case Strategy

We customize our approach to each client’s unique circumstances. We will evaluate the most effective strategy for securing the compensation you deserve, whether through negotiations, legal action, or a combination of both.

When creating your case strategy, we will consider the following:

The extent and nature of your child’s injuries and the impact on your family
The evidence available to prove negligence and liability
The daycare’s insurance coverage and its adequacy for your losses
The potential benefits and risks of pursuing a lawsuit versus settling through negotiation
Your goals for the case and your willingness to proceed with litigation if necessary

Each case presents different circumstances and challenges. We will provide you with complete and transparent information to ensure we take the right action on your behalf.

Securing a Fair Settlement

Whether through negotiations or legal action, we will strive to secure a settlement that fully compensates your child’s damages, as well as your own. Settling can often resolve the case efficiently without compromising the compensation you deserve.

Attorney Adam Loewy has a strong track record of achieving substantial settlements for his clients. We will apply that same dedication to your case, working tirelessly to reach the best possible outcome.

Taking Your Case to Court If Necessary

We approach each case with flexibility, focusing on what’s best for you and your child. While many cases settle out of court, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial if needed. Our priority is to pursue the path that serves your interests most effectively, without delay.

Damages You and Your Child Should Receive Compensation for Following Daycare Negligence

The goal of an Austin daycare injury claim or lawsuit is to secure fair compensation for the economic and non-economic losses you and your child have suffered. Success in your case may result in compensation for the following:

Your Child’s Pain and Suffering

In any daycare injury case, your child’s well-being is the primary concern. We will evaluate the pain and suffering your child has experienced, which may include:

Fear
Anxiety
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Physical pain

We may collaborate with a mental health expert who specializes in children’s needs to assess the impact of the injury and the negligence that caused it.

Your Pain and Suffering

As a parent, you experience significant emotional and psychological distress when your child is injured. We will ensure that any pain and suffering you endure is included in your claim.

Medical and Mental Health-Related Expenses

If your child required medical treatment following the incident, we will seek compensation for those costs. Additionally, if either you or your child needs mental health services, we will include those expenses in our demands.

Disruption to Childcare Arrangements

If you decide to move your child to a different daycare after an injury, we will account for any significant disruptions or costs involved in securing new childcare arrangements.
