Every parent’s worst nightmare is receiving a call informing them that their child has been injured. When that injury occurs at daycare, the shock and worry can be overwhelming. Daycare facilities have a legal duty to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in their care, but unfortunately, accidents and injuries can still happen due to negligence or inadequate supervision. It can be a traumatic experience for both the child and their family. From minor bumps and bruises to more serious injuries, such incidents can have a lasting impact on the child’s physical and emotional well-being.

When a child is injured while at daycare in California, determining liability can be complex and depends on various factors.
Regardless of the specific circumstances, it is essential for parents to seek legal guidance to navigate the complexities of daycare injury claims. An experienced attorney can help assess liability, gather evidence, and pursue compensation to ensure that justice is served and the child’s best interests are protected.
Daycare facilities often require parents to sign liability waivers as part of their enrollment process. These waivers are intended to protect the daycare from legal liability in the event of an accident or injury involving a child. However, signing a liability waiver does not necessarily absolve the daycare of all responsibility, especially if the injury was caused by the daycare’s negligence or misconduct.
While liability waivers may limit the scope of a daycare’s liability, they cannot waive liability for gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. If the daycare or its staff acted negligently and their actions directly led to a child’s injury, the waiver may be deemed unenforceable, and the daycare could still be held liable for damages. Additionally, California courts have a strong public policy interest in protecting the rights of children, which may further limit the enforceability of liability waivers in daycare injury cases.
Parents should not assume that signing a liability waiver means they have no legal recourse if their child is injured at daycare. If a child is harmed due to the daycare’s negligence, parents may still have grounds to pursue a personal injury claim against the daycare facility.
When a child is injured at daycare, parents may feel overwhelmed and uncertain about their legal options. This is where an experienced attorney can be invaluable.
By working with an attorney, parents can ensure that their child’s rights are protected and receive the compensation they need to cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the daycare injury.
When a child is injured at daycare, it is a devastating experience for both the child and their family. Daycare facilities have a legal obligation to provide a safe environment for the children under their care.
