Daycare Accidents
Every day, parents throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania entrust daycare facilities to care for their children and keep them safe. When these establishments do not have a sufficient amount of staff or employees fail in their duty to supervise the kids in their care, it can result in potentially devastating accidents such as:
- Children Leaving Facilities
- Falls
- Ingestion of Chemical Substances
- Physical or Sexual Abuse
- Playground Injuries
When children are involved in one of these types of incidents, the consequences can be enormous. Sometimes kids sustain broken bones, severe fractures, or burn injuries, but more catastrophic accidents can result in traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or spinal cord injuries that have very costly long-term effects on entire families.
Daycare establishments are legally obligated to make sure that all their employees are competent and their premises are free from unreasonable hazards. Whether an accident was the result of employee carelessness or an unsafe environment, the daycare facility can often be considered negligent. A daycare center can be liable to injury victims and their families for the damage that resulted from their negligence.
In most of these cases, daycare facilities will have insurance companies that are determined to pay as little as possible to resolve any legal claims. This can often involve lawyers for these insurance companies arguing that certain accidents were not foreseeable and could not have been prevented. Parents may often find themselves having their own children accused of causing the accidents that resulted in the injuries for disobeying orders or participating in activities they knew to be dangerous. Insurance adjusters will actively attempt to get parents to make recorded statements that admit their children were at fault or contributed in some way to their own injuries.
You should avoid speaking to any representatives of the daycare establishment until you have first contacted the West Chester daycare accident attorneys at Ciccarelli Law Offices. We work as a team to help the victims and their parents get every dollar or compensation they are entitled to, and the contingency fee basis for our legal representation means you pay us only is we get you a monetary award.
