Examples of Daycare Negligence

  • Failure to Properly Supervise a Child
    If a child is lost, injured, or otherwise harmed due to a lack of reasonable supervision, this can be considered negligence.
  • Failure to Attend to a Child’s Special Dietary Needs
    When a daycare provider is aware of a child’s severe allergy or other dietary restriction, he or she must take reasonable care to protect that child from foods that could cause harm. If your child suffers an allergic reaction to foods he or she should have been kept away from, this can also be considered an act of negligence.
  • Failure to Provide Safe Premises
    Neglecting to provide a safe environment can take many different forms, ranging from the provision of dangerous or age-inappropriate toys to using defective or recalled cribs. Leaving medicines or toxic substances in reach of children is another example of neglecting to provide safe premises.
  • Failure to Screen Employees
    Daycare centers must legally do their best to protect children from dangerous individuals. If centers do not screen or conduct background checks on their employees, and inadvertently hire a dangerous predator or even a person who isn’t qualified to provide care, they may be held liable for negligence.

Common Types of Daycare Accidents & Injuries

  • Accidents Involving Toys or Equipment
    Toys that have been involved in safety recalls, toys with small or loose parts, or poorly maintained outdoor equipment can all cause injuries. Falling, choking, and hazards are all real dangers when daycare centers allow the presence of unsafe toys and equipment.
  • Accidents Involving Other Children
    If left unsupervised, children can cause injuries in a variety of ways, including hitting, biting, kicking, or inadvertent collisions.
  • Injuries Involving Food
    When daycare centers provide food, it can present many different dangers. Spoiled or contaminated food can cause illness, and foods that induce allergic reactions can cause serious injury or even death when given to children with negative reactions.
  • Physical Injuries
    Visible injuries such as bumps, bruises, cuts, or even broken bones could all be indicative of daycare negligence or abuse.

How Should I Take Action Regarding a Daycare Injury?

In any case of alleged daycare negligence, the plaintiff bears the burden of proving that the harm to the child was the direct result of negligence by the daycare provider. The plaintiff must also show that the negligence led to some type of injury or damage, such as medical bills or emotional suffering, for which reimbursement can be claimed. It is important to have an experienced Mississauga personal injury lawyer on your side.
