Dallas Daycare Injury FAQs

What should I do if the daycare's explanation for my child's injury does not make sense?

Parents are not required to accept an explanation that leaves important questions unanswered. If your child is injured at a Dallas daycare, write down exactly what the facility tells you, request an incident report, photograph visible injuries, and seek appropriate medical care.

It can also be helpful to document who was supervising your child, when the injury allegedly happened, when you were notified, and whether the daycare has surveillance cameras.

If different employees give conflicting accounts or important details appear to be missing, those inconsistencies may warrant a closer look at what happened.

How can I check a Dallas daycare's inspection and violation history?

Parents can search Texas childcare records to review information about licensed daycare facilities, including inspection and compliance history.

When reviewing a Dallas daycare, look beyond whether the facility currently has an active permit. Past deficiencies involving supervision, caregiver-to-child ratios, background checks, safety conditions, or other recurring problems may provide important context after a child is injured.

A prior violation does not automatically establish responsibility for a new injury, but the daycare’s history can help parents better understand whether similar safety concerns have occurred before.

What evidence can help show that a Dallas daycare failed to properly supervise my child?

Daycare injury cases often depend on understanding what was happening immediately before a child was hurt.

Useful evidence may include:

• Surveillance video
• Incident reports
• Employee statements
• Witness accounts
• Staffing and attendance records
• Medical records
• Photographs of the injury or unsafe condition
• Daycare policies and procedures

Evidence can disappear or become more difficult to obtain over time. When an injury raises concerns about supervision, gathering and preserving information early can help clarify what occurred.

What if a Dallas daycare will not provide video or an incident report after my child is injured?

A daycare's refusal to voluntarily provide records does not necessarily mean those records do not exist.

Parents should document their requests and preserve any emails, text messages, app notifications, or other communications with the daycare. It can also be helpful to record what employees have said about whether cameras were operating or an incident report was created.

If a serious injury occurred, a daycare injury lawyer can evaluate what records may exist and what legal steps may be available to preserve or obtain relevant evidence.

Can a Dallas daycare be responsible for an injury that happens during transportation or a field trip?

Potential daycare safety responsibilities are not necessarily limited to incidents occurring inside the facility.

Children may be injured while being transported in daycare vans, entering or leaving vehicles, attending field trips, visiting playgrounds, or participating in activities away from the daycare center.

Questions may include whether children were properly supervised, whether transportation procedures were followed, whether appropriate safety equipment was used, and whether staff responded appropriately when something went wrong.

Does The Button Law Firm represent families outside the City of Dallas?

Yes. The Button Law Firm's Dallas office serves families throughout North Texas and across the state.

Families from Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, Arlington, Frisco, McKinney, and other surrounding communities may contact the firm about a daycare or child injury.

Where the injury occurred is only one part of evaluating a potential case. The circumstances surrounding the incident, the child's injuries, and the actions of the daycare or other responsible organization are also important.
