Lawyers Help Fort Worth Families After Daycare and Child Injuries

What Types of Child Injury Cases Does The Button Law Firm Handle in Fort Worth? 

With more than a decade of helping Fort Worth families, the types of incidents that we see most often fall into the following categories:

• Boating Accidents: During the hot summer months, boating around Eagle Mountain Lake, Lake Worth, or Burger’s Lake can seem fun, but it can turn dangerous in an instant for kids. We’ve seen injuries happen when proper safety steps are not followed such as wearing life jackets, supervising children closely, or operating the boat responsibly. Drowning incidents and water vessel collisions involving kids are often preventable. 
• Car Wrecks Involving Children: Whether you are traveling at high speeds on I-30 or the standard 30 mph around the Stockyards, car crashes can be especially dangerous for young children. Their small, developing bodies are more vulnerable to serious injuries like broken bones, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and deep wounds or lacerations. 
• Child Injuries at Entertainment Centers: Family-friendly venues like arcades, trampoline parks, bowling alleys, and all-in-one entertainment centers can quickly turn dangerous when safety is overlooked. These large facilities often lack the proper supervision needed to avoid leaving hazardous areas unattended. We’ve seen firsthand how poorly maintained equipment and inadequate staffing at these venues can lead to children suffering serious injuries when trying to enjoy a family outing.
• Daycare Center Injuries: You trust your daycare center in Fort Worth to keep your child safe, but not all local centers take that responsibility seriously. When a daycare center does not follow state childcare laws, also known as minimum standards, it creates an unsafe environment where children are more likely to get hurt. We often see issues like a lack of supervision, unattended bottle warmers, broken playground equipment, drugging incidents, and caregivers who are untrained and not properly screened. These all fall under daycare negligence and are warning signs that the center does not prioritize child safety, which can endanger your child.
• Incidents and Injuries at Summer Camps: Camps are meant to be a fun and memorable experience for kids, but that fun can quickly turn into an emergency when safety takes a backseat. From fall injuries and broken bones to suffering heatstroke and instances of sexual abuse, these are the kinds of cases we have handled to help Fort Worth families seek justice and hold summer camps accountable.
• School Bus Incidents and Injuries: Whether your child is riding in a private school bus or one within FWISD’s limits, it’s likely the school or daycare center is relying on a contracted bus company to transport your child. Unfortunately, not all of these companies follow mandated safety practices, and we have seen instances where drivers are not properly trained. Just like a car wreck, an accident on the road involving a school bus can seriously injure a child. Even more alarming, we have handled cases where little ones were forgotten or left inside of locked daycare vans in the extreme Fort Worth heat because a driver or daycare worker did not perform a required face-to-name check.
• Toy Injuries: Parents know that just because a toy appeals to a young one, it doesn’t mean the toy is safe. However, we have seen daycare centers with toys with sharp edges or tiny pieces that break off easily and pose a choking hazard, as well as other hidden hazards that can lead to serious injuries. One major concern that we have seen is toys with button batteries, which toddlers and preschoolers can easily put in their mouths and swallow or choke on, which is extremely dangerous. Surprisingly, a toy marketed to a young child does not mean it is safe.

In heartbreaking situations where a child passes away from a preventable injury at a daycare, venue, or in an avoidable car wreck or other incident around Fort Worth, it is considered wrongful death of a child. No parent should ever have to face that kind of loss. An incident involving the death of a child is when having compassionate advocates like our team of child-injury lawyers on your side can provide the guidance and support your family needs. These cases are about accountability, honoring your child, and making sure other families never have to experience the same tragedy.
