When a child is hurt at daycare, parents are often left in a whirlwind of fear, confusion, and frustration. It’s hard to know who to trust or where to turn in those moments. That’s where a daycare injury lawyer comes in—to help guide families through the aftermath and fight for the accountability their child deserves.
Understanding the Role of a Daycare Injury Lawyer
A daycare injury lawyer is an attorney who helps families take legal action after a child is harmed while in the care of a daycare provider. These injuries may be the result of neglect, unsafe environments, improper supervision, or even intentional abuse by staff members.
At The Button Law Firm, our team has worked with families across Texas navigating these heartbreaking situations. We know how emotionally charged and complex these cases can be, and we’re here to help every step of the way.
When Should I Contact a Daycare Injury Lawyer?
If your child has been seriously injured while at daycare, and you believe it could have been prevented, it’s important to speak with an experienced daycare injury lawyer as soon as possible. Some signs that legal help may be necessary include:
- Your child comes home with unexplained bruises or injuries
- There are repeated incidents of rough handling or inappropriate discipline
- You weren’t notified about the injury right away, or at all
- The daycare staff seems evasive or defensive about what happened
- Your child is showing signs of fear, anxiety, or withdrawal after attending daycare
You know your child best. If something feels off, trust your instincts and reach out. A lawyer can help you get answers.
What Kinds of Incidents Do Daycare Injury Lawyers Handle?
Daycare injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases, including:
- Falls due to a lack of supervision or unsafe equipment
- Injuries from being yanked, dropped, or picked up improperly (such as nursemaid’s elbow or dislocated shoulders)
- Choking incidents or food-related injuries
- Medication errors—like giving the wrong dose or giving medication without a parent’s consent
- Burns from bottle warmers or unsafe kitchen areas
- Exposure to harmful substances or unsanitary conditions
- Physical, emotional, or even sexual abuse by staff members
In each of these scenarios, it’s not just about the injury—it’s about how the situation could and should have been prevented. Daycares are legally required to keep children safe. When they fail to do that, there must be accountability.
What Can a Daycare Injury Lawyer Help Me Do?
A daycare injury lawyer will walk with you through every step of the legal process. That includes:
- Requesting surveillance footage (if available)
- Reviewing the daycare’s history of violations or complaints
- Speaking with witnesses, medical experts, and safety consultants
- Handling all communication with the daycare’s legal team and insurance provider
- Filing a lawsuit or legal claim, if necessary
- Helping your family recover damages for medical bills, long-term care, therapy, and emotional distress
They can also help you report the incident to state licensing agencies, such as Texas Health and Human Services, which oversees daycare regulations and can investigate possible violations.
