Steps To Take After a Daycare Accident

Answer:

Parents call me about situations that happened to their child at daycare. They want to know what they can do, how they can take care of their child in this situation. It’s always an unfortunate situation when a child has been injured at a daycare. We understand that the parent at that time needs to focus on the welfare and health of their child. We want to provide the parent with a one, two, three-step process to get from where we are right now with an injured child at a daycare to a point where the injuries have healed and we’re no longer dealing with that daycare, and they’ve been compensated. That’s what is really important. We lay out the process for the parent so they don’t have to worry about the details themselves.

Since we do this every day and we have a process for how to handle it, it really takes a lot of the burden off of their shoulders, and they feel a great sense of relief. The only thing that they have to worry about is the health and welfare of their child and making sure that the child gets to the doctor or gets the care that they need and be a parent. Just be a parent. Be there to love your child and take care of your child. Don’t worry about the details of making a claim or the details of contacting the right state entity that’s going to do the investigation or contacting the daycare. Let us handle that. That’s what we’re here for. We talk to them about the process, the one, two, three process of what we need to do. Then we say, let us handle the details. You focus on being a parent and taking care of your child. We’ll handle everything else. A lot of times, the parents are happy with that, knowing that they don’t have to do everything themselves, that they have somebody that’s here to help them, knows what’s going on and how to help them.
