When Day Cares Break Your Trust

Negligence vs. Accidents: Knowing the Difference Children play hard, and minor scrapes happen. However, serious injuries in a day care setting are often the result of systemic failures and violations of Georgia state regulations.

At Dayton Trial Law, we investigate the root causes of childcare injuries, including:

• Lack of Supervision: Georgia law mandates strict student-to-teacher ratios. When facilities cut corners to save money, children are left unattended.

• Negligent Hiring: Facilities must perform background checks. If a day care hires an employee with a history of violence or abuse, the facility is liable for the harm that follows.

• Playground Injuries: Falls from unsafe equipment or injuries caused by lack of maintenance are not "accidents"—they are premises liability cases.

• Bottle Propping & Feeding Errors: Improper feeding techniques can lead to choking or aspiration in infants.

We Investigate the Facility We do not rely on the day care's incident report, which often minimizes the event. We subpoena video footage, review hiring files, and check the facility's history of violations with the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL).

Protecting Your Child's Future Injuries to children can have long-term developmental impacts. We fight to ensure your settlement covers not just immediate medical bills, but any future care or therapy your child may need.
