Daycare injuries in TexasWhat Are The Two Types Of Claims For Daycare Cases In Texas?

When discussing with a lawyer for your child’s daycare case, you will need to know what each of these legal words really means. Read these, print them off, and keep them close.

What Are Parent Claims In A Daycare Injury or Abuse Lawsuit?

When the lawyer says “parent’s claim”, they are referring to the part of the lawsuit that the parents actually have a claim for. These claims have a two (2) year statute of limitations, which means the actual lawsuit must be filed within two (2) years of the date of the incident to preserve the claim. There are exceptions of course, but two (2) years is a safe bet for most cases.

The parent’s claim consists of the following damages: medical expenses in the past and medical expenses for the future up until the child turns 18. This is a very generalized explanation of what damages can be sought or claimed as each case and injury is different.

What Are A Child's Claim In A Daycare Injury or Abuse Lawsuit?

When the lawyer says “child’s claim”, they really mean the part of the lawsuit that the child actually has a claim for. The statute of limitations on the child’s case does not start until the child turns eighteen (18) years old. However, there are exceptions to this general rule and must be closely followed. Some are triggered by the actual event, even if the child is still a minor. Please consult with a lawyer right away for how long you can wait to file a child’s case with regard to daycare injuries.

The child’s claim consists of the following damages: medical expenses in the future past the age of 18, pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, and any loss of earning capacity in the future. This is a very generalized explanation of what damages can be sought or claimed as each case and injury is different.
