When you entrust your child to a daycare, you expect them to be safe, supervised, and cared for. But when that trust is broken and your child is hurt, taking legal action might be the most direct path to try to set things right again.

Common Daycare Injuries and Their Causes
Common injuries that we have seen in daycare negligence cases include:
- Falls and head injuries from unsafe playground equipment or inadequate supervision
- Burns and choking incidents due to access to hazardous objects or poor staff training
- Broken bones, sprains, or dislocations from rough handling or physical accidents
- Infections, rashes, or malnutrition tied to neglect, poor hygiene, or inadequate staffing
- Signs of physical or sexual abuse, often linked to a failure to properly screen employees
Not all injuries are obvious right away. If your child has suffered an injury or is acting unusually withdrawn, afraid, or upset after daycare, don’t ignore your instincts. Something could be very wrong with how they are being treated at the daycare. See if you can communicate with other parents who have similar stories, or reach out to our firm if you already suspect daycare abuse or neglect.
When is a Daycare Liable for a Child’s Injury in Texas?
Texas daycares have a legal obligation to provide a safe environment and to protect children from harm. When they fail in that duty, and a child is hurt as a result, they may be held legally liable through a personal injury claim filed on behalf of the child.
Negligence can take many forms, including:
- Failing to maintain safe indoor or outdoor facilities
- Inadequate supervision or improper staff-to-child ratios
- Failure to administer necessary medical care
- Employing unqualified or dangerous staff members
- Ignoring safety violations or previous complaints
Even if the daycare claims the injury was “an accident,” you may still have a case. Our team can investigate whether proper precautions were taken, and if not, we can discuss what steps you should take next.
What to Do If Your Child Was Hurt at a Waco Daycare
If your child was injured while in the care of a daycare provider, take the following steps as soon as possible:
- Seek immediate medical care for your child, even for seemingly minor injuries.
- Document the injury with photos, doctor’s notes, and daycare incident reports.
- Report the incident to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).
- Write down details including times, names of staff, and anything your child said.
- Do not speak with the daycare’s insurance company or legal representative before consulting a lawyer.
- Contact our firm for a free consultation; we can guide you through your options based on what you can tell us.
