Caretaker Negligence
Leaving a child in day care is a step taken by many parents more often out of financial necessity than actual preference. But current economic realities virtually demand that both parents work at least part-time to support a family, and as a result, finding a day care provider that can be entrusted to ensure the safety of one’s children becomes essential. Through consultations with friends, facility visits, and inquiries with state licensing organizations, parents seek to identify a suitable day care for their children. Unfortunately, even the most cautious investigation cannot predict future negligence or recklessness.
If your child has suffered injury or illness due to a day care employee’s failure to render adequate care, then it may be possible for you to obtain financial compensation through a legal action.

Examples of Caretaker Negligence
Typically, children who are placed in day care are quite young, and therefore still in a developmental phase during which they are unaware of the dangers posed by their environment. They are also inclined toward eager exploration of their surroundings. This natural curiosity can expose a child to serious danger in mere moments of inattention by a caretaker. Some examples of caretaker negligence include:
- Lack of supervision
- Failure to keep chemicals out of reach
- Failure to eliminate choking hazards or sharp objects
- Provision of expired or improperly prepared foods
