BLF Secures Justice for Young Girl Injured During Daycare Trip to Gymnastics Center

A Young Girl Suffers a Serious Injury During a Daycare Gymnastics Outing

A young girl attending an in-home daycare in Texas faced a traumatic injury during one of the daycare’s weekly outings to Beamers Gymnastics. While the daycare claimed the injury happened from a fall into a foam pit, the severity of her broken femur raised serious questions, especially from medical professionals who doubted a fall alone could cause such an injury to a 2-year-old.

What Really Happened to This Child?

The daycare center had a regular routine where, on Wednesdays, they took the kids to a Gymnastics center to play and burn off energy. During one such outing, this young girl suffered a broken femur, which is one of the most serious injuries a toddler can endure.

According to the daycare staff, she fell into a foam pit, a padded, cushioned area meant to absorb impacts safely. But doctors quickly questioned how a simple fall into a foam pit could cause such a severe break in a toddler’s leg. When the young girl was asked about the incident, she told her mom that she was actually thrown into the foam pit.

This raised serious concerns about the daycare’s supervision and safety practices during off-site activities, and the family knew something wasn’t right.

Emergency Medical Care and Surgery

After the injury occurred, the young girl’s mother rushed her to the emergency room. Medical staff quickly realized that the injury was beyond a typical fall; her broken femur required immediate specialized care. Due to the severity, she was airlifted to Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas.

There, expert surgeons performed surgery to repair the broken bone. The medical intervention was crucial for the girl’s recovery, but it was just the start of a long road for her and her family.

Steps Families Should Take If Their Child Is Injured at Daycare

1. Seek Medical Attention Right Away - Even if injuries seem minor, get a professional evaluation to document any harm.
2. Request an Incident Report - Daycares are required to provide documentation of incidents and injuries. This paper trail is important for any legal action.
3. Ask to Review Surveillance Footage - If there are conflicting stories about how an injury happened, footage can provide clarity.

5. Contact a Lawyer Experienced in Daycare Injuries - You need someone to help protect your family’s rights and pursue accountability.
