BLF Lawyers Get Justice After Child Injured at San Antonio Daycare Center

Our experienced Texas daycare injury lawyers at The Button Law Firm helped a young girl and her family move forward after she was injured on two separate occasions at a daycare center in San Antonio.

How Did the San Antonio Daycare Center Fail This Family?

Daycare centers in Texas are required by law to follow minimum standards, which are rules designed to protect children from preventable harm. Unfortunately, this San Antonio daycare center failed on multiple fronts, and a young girl suffered because of it.

In July 2022, she was seriously injured when she slipped on a toy that wasn’t age-appropriate, resulting in a broken ankle. Her parents contacted The Button Law Firm after realizing how casually the daycare brushed off the incident and failed to take meaningful corrective action.

Then, in September 2024, the family received another disturbing call from the same daycare. Staff reported that during a “redirection,” a caregiver pulled the girl’s hair. When her father arrived to pick her up, he saw scratches on her face, clear signs of rough handling.

To make matters worse, daycare staff admitted there was video footage of the incident but refused to show it to the parents, citing privacy reasons. That kind of lack of transparency only added to the family’s concern, and it’s something our team sees far too often in daycare injury cases.

In legal terms, this is a breach of duty. That means the daycare acted negligently and failed to meet the basic standards that are in place to keep children safe. One of the most common violations we see is improper supervision, where caregivers don’t maintain close visual and auditory contact with the kids they are responsible for, as required by law.

The girl endured not only physical pain from the two incidents but also emotional trauma. Being hurt twice at a place that was supposed to protect her left lasting effects.

How The Button Law Firm Helped This San Antonio Family Move Forward

Our team of compassionate and experienced daycare injury lawyers quickly identified the pattern of safety failures that led to the girl’s injuries. We partnered with medical experts to evaluate the long-term impact of the trauma and made sure the family had a clear path forward with the right resources in place.

We also empowered the parents with information about their rights, including their ability to request formal incident reports, ask to review surveillance footage, and get immediate medical attention when something doesn’t feel right. These are all steps we recommend families take if they suspect abuse or neglect at a daycare center.

In the end, we secured a life-changing result that covered damages such as the young girl’s medical bills, pain and suffering, and therapy expenses. Most importantly, it gave the family peace of mind and the ability to move forward together.
