The experienced attorneys at Mastagni Holstedt, A.P.C. represent clients whose children or dependent adult family members have suffered serious injuries at daycare facilities in California. If you suspect that your loved one’s injuries were caused by the negligence or intentional actions of care providers, we will counsel you about filing a legal claim for financial compensation that covers medical bills and other losses associated with the injury. For the convenience of clients, we provide legal services from offices in Sacramento and four other locations in the state.  

Duty of care that daycare facilities owe to people under their supervision

When you drop your child or elderly relative at daycare, you entrust employees to safeguard your loved one’s well-being. Moreover, staff and administrators at these facilities are legally responsible for keeping these vulnerable individuals in their care safe. If they fail in doing so and someone is injured due to inadequate supervision, mistreatment by staff or medication errors, you have the right to bring a claim against the facility. Our personal injury lawyers will examine all of the relevant evidence and advise you about the possible legal remedies.    

Types of common injuries at daycare centers

Children and seniors at daycares with lax supervision or hazardous premises can sustain serious injuries, such as:

• Broken bones, spinal damage and head injuries following falls
• Poisoning or illness from the wrong medication or dosage, as well as by drinking liquids not meant for consumption 
• Soft tissue damage and internal injuries from toppling furniture or large toys 
• Choking or eye damage from defective toys that malfunction

There are many ways that children and elderly people can be injured when proper attention to their care is not provided. Our lawyers get to the truth about what occurred and fight for the payment the victim deserves. 

Types of damages available in daycare injury cases

Damages available in your daycare injury case may include compensation for the following types of harm:

• Medical expenses for doctor treatment, surgery, rehabilitation and ongoing care
• Pain and suffering associated with physical injuries  
• Emotional trauma and distress
• Loss of quality of life or enjoyment of life 

The specific damages you claim will depend upon the facts of your case. We will help you determine an appropriate settlement demand and vigorously pursue fair compensation to support the recovery and well-being of your family member. 

Reporting requirements for daycare centers under California law

There are reporting requirements under California law for daycare programs serving both children and dependent adults. Daycare providers and staff who know of abuse and neglect and fail to report it to proper authorities can be held not only civilly liable, but also criminally accountable. If you suspect your loved one was abused or neglected, we will investigate exactly how the problem occurred.
