Signs of Daycare Negligence and What You Can Do

More young children are looked after by day care professionals on a daily basis than ever before. Most day care professionals are compassionate, caring, and responsible toward the children they watch. Unfortunately, however, there are a number of day care operations that are staffed by one or more neglectful or abusive individuals. If you detect any of the signs discussed below, your child may be a victim of daycare negligence and you should consult a personal injury attorney in your area to find out what action you should take:

Signs of Daycare Negligence:

• Unexplained Bruises or Scratches

If you notice bruises, scratches, or other physical injuries on your child that you know were not caused by a trip or a fall, it is possible that your child has been abused at his or her daycare center.

• Loss of Weight

One of the more common types of daycare neglect comes in the form of malnourishment or undernourishment. If your child has been losing weight, or is consistently thirsty or hungry upon pick up from day care, the daycare center may not be feeding her or him properly.

• Increased Difficulty in Communicating with Others

Being neglected or mistreated by adults as a young child can cause confusion, especially if the child in question is cared for so well at home. This confusion can have a noticeable impact on a child’s demeanor, causing him or her to have trouble getting along with other children and adults.

• Withdrawn Actions

Another way in which daycare negligence can manifest itself in a child’s behavior is through withdrawal from social activity. If your child no longer seems to enjoy activities or playing with others, daycare mistreatment could be to blame.

How a Personal Injury Attorney can Help

In addition to resulting in physical injury, daycare negligence can have adverse psychological effects on your child and his or her development. A personal injury attorney with a passion for the well-being of children can represent your child and make sure that his or her rights are upheld.

Frequently Asked Law Questions—Answered!

Personal injury law is a broad legal field in which attorneys provide representation to those who have been physically or psychologically harmed because of another’s failure to act with reasonable care. If you are seeking to determine whether a claim for an injury you sustained falls under the purview of personal injury law, read these answers to frequently asked questions to find out what constitutes a personal injury case.

What types of injuries are covered under personal injury law?

Just about any type of injury with fault that can be attributed to someone else’s negligence may provide the injured party with grounds to file a personal injury claim, including:

·         Automobile accidents

·         Slip and falls and other work-related injuries

·         Medical malpractice

·         Wrongful death

·         Product liability

·         Premises liability

If you have sustained an injury because of the failure of another person or persons to exercise reasonable care, you are legally entitled to damages that compensate you for the pain, suffering, medical bills, and other costs associated with those injuries.

What is the difference between actual and punitive damages?

Actual damages refer to the compensation a plaintiff receives in a personal injury case for measurable economic losses incurred as a result of the injury he or she sustained at the hands of the defendant. These include medical bills, new expenses that arise as a result of physical impairment, and lost work. Punitive damages may be awarded to a plaintiff in personal injury cases in which the act of negligence in question could be described as egregious.

How much might my personal injury claim be worth?

A personal injury attorney has no way of giving you a clear answer to this question, as the value of your claim will be  based on a number of factors that cannot be sorted out before your claim is processed. The best indicators for predicting what your claim may be worth are to examine the cost of the medical expenses, lost wages, and other economic damages you will suffer as a result of your injury.
