Can I Sue a Galveston Daycare if My Child Broke a Bone While in Their Care?

Daycare Safety Isn’t Optional, It’s the Law

Texas law requires licensed daycare centers to meet minimum safety standards. These include basic, non-negotiable responsibilities like:

• Maintaining a clean, hazard-free environment
• Keeping walkways clear of toys and clutter
• Using age-appropriate equipment
• And most importantly, supervising children closely at all times

These are legal obligations. When caregivers fail to follow them, children can get hurt. One of the most common injuries we see from these safety lapses is a broken foot, ankle, or leg, often caused by tripping hazards, unsafe play areas, or inattentive supervision.

We’ve Helped Families After Serious Injuries Like This

Our team has worked with families whose children suffered preventable injuries at daycare, including a young girl who broke her foot after slipping on a toy that should never have been in her reach. The daycare failed to follow basic safety standards and didn’t respond seriously after the injury, leaving her parents frustrated and concerned about what else could go wrong.

When daycares cut corners or ignore risks, they put kids in danger. And when an injury like a broken bone occurs, the long-term impact on a child’s physical and emotional well-being is significant.

Holding Daycares Accountable and Helping Families Move Forward

When we take on a daycare injury case, our goal is to uncover what went wrong and ensure the child’s medical, emotional, and practical needs are fully addressed. We work closely with pediatric specialists and child development experts to evaluate what support the child may need going forward.

We also guide families through the legal process so they can advocate for their child without having to take it on alone. Many parents don’t realize they can request formal reports, review surveillance footage, and push for answers when a daycare is dismissive or evasive. We’re here to make sure those rights are protected.
