As a working parent, you depend on and entrust your children to daycare centers, where you expect your little ones to be kept safe and free from any danger. The unfortunate reality is that is not always the case in Virginia. Whether from negligence or outright abuse, children who have undergone the turmoil of an injury at daycare deserve treatment and nurturing to help them overcome their trauma. If your child’s been injured, Rutter Mills wants you to know you have the right to seek justice and financial compensation under the law. Our daycare injury lawyers and personal injury lawyers can assist you every step of the way.
When a daycare breaches its duty of care to your child, it breaks your trust. If your child suffers an injury, you have the right to file a claim against the child care center and any negligent party responsible. We recommend a few steps to take to make sure you have all the proof of wrongdoing against your child:
It’s never an easy decision to leave your child in the care of others. This is why daycares are required to be officially licensed by the state or local government. However, despite strict licensing requirements, it doesn’t mean you are always guaranteed quality. Your civil rights entitle you to file a claim to help cover the expenses of your child’s recovery. Don’t be burdened by the financial consequences of a caregiver’s irresponsible behavior. Take legal action as soon as possible.
Our Virginia child injury attorneys can help you in many ways. We’ll handle the legal legwork on your behalf. We understand your priority is with your child. You don’t need the headache of a legal battle against your daycare’s insurance company. We will assist you in making sure nothing gets left out of your final settlement total. The daycare, any negligent parties involved, and their insurance companies aren’t going to keel over and admit fault. Just because you have the right to file a claim doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed the settlement you require for your child’s healing or the justice your family deserves. Our Rutter Mills daycare injury attorneys have the skill to negotiate the correct terms so you can be where you need to be – with your children.
In Virginia, a general statute of limitations, a deadline, gives parents two years to file a claim after their child sustains an injury. However, certain factors surrounding your case may significantly shorten the time you have to get started.
As a general rule of thumb, it’s best not to sit on your case. As time passes, it’s harder to get evidence of your child’s suffering. Daycares waste no time calling licensing agents to come in and affirm whether or not there is proof that your child was injured under their care. If daycare insurance companies have inspectors and lawyers to fight for them – why not have us fight for you?
Right after your child gets injured, seek medical assistance and then contact our law firm as soon as possible. If you wait too long to file your claim, you risk forfeiting your right to hold the daycare and other negligent parties responsible for your child’s injuries.
Hundreds of serious injuries occur in Virginia daycares each year. The types of injuries vary, but most children typically sustain injuries such as:
All of these can happen due to a multitude of different factors:
Regardless of how your child’s injuries may have occurred, know that if negligence is the culprit, you will most likely have a case against the daycare and any caregivers involved.
Injuries from daycares aren’t all visible, but they can all be damaging. The inattention of a caregiver can result in:
These are just a few of the many damages related to daycare injuries that you can file a claim for. There are signs and symptoms of maltreatment that go beyond this list. Our Rutter Mills team can help you identify any harmful effects on your children and put you on the path to the right treatments as quickly as possible.
As long as the damages your child sustained are related to the daycare injury, they can qualify for compensation and your family can rest at ease knowing your medical bills are covered. You can call our offices to speak with a personal injury attorney to better understand what you’re entitled to. There’s no cost for your case review.
