Leaving your child at daycare requires an enormous amount of trust. Parents expect licensed childcare providers to create a safe environment, supervise children appropriately, and respond quickly when accidents or emergencies occur. When that trust is broken because of negligence or abuse, the consequences can be devastating.
If your child has suffered an injury at a daycare, preschool, or childcare center, our attorneys can help you understand your legal options. We represent families throughout Colorado whose children have been harmed due to negligent supervision, unsafe conditions, abuse, or other preventable incidents.
Our goal is simple: hold negligent daycare providers accountable while helping families recover the compensation they need to move forward.

While minor scrapes and bruises are a normal part of childhood, serious injuries often point to preventable safety failures. Many daycare injury claims involve negligence that could have been avoided through proper staffing, supervision, or adherence to safety standards.
Common causes include:
● Inadequate supervision
● Playground accidents
● Unsafe or defective equipment
● Falls from changing tables or furniture
● Choking hazards
● Burns from hot liquids or unsafe kitchen areas
● Physical abuse
● Neglect
Daycare facilities have a legal duty to provide reasonable care for every child in their custody. When they fail to meet that responsibility, they may be liable for the injuries that result.
Children can suffer a wide range of injuries while in daycare, including:
● Broken bones
● Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
● Head injuries
● Facial injuries
● Lacerations requiring stitches
● Dental injuries
● Burns
● Fractures
● Spinal injuries
● Emotional trauma
● Wrongful death
Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Infants and young children often cannot explain what happened, making it especially important to seek medical attention whenever you suspect something is wrong. Read more about daycare injuries and how Denver families may have legal options when a daycare injury results from negligence or inadequate supervision.
Parents should take unexplained injuries seriously. Some warning signs include:
● Frequent unexplained bruises or cuts
● Injuries that don’t match the daycare’s explanation
● Sudden fear of attending daycare
● Behavioral changes
● Regression in potty training or sleep habits
● Anxiety around certain caregivers
● Poor hygiene or signs of neglect
● Unexplained fractures or head injuries
If something feels wrong, trust your instincts. Prompt medical evaluation and legal guidance can help protect your child and preserve important evidence.
When a child has been injured, families deserve an attorney who understands both the legal issues and the emotional impact these cases have on parents.

Whether a case involves negligent supervision, abuse, unsafe practices, or preventable incidents, Laura is committed to advocating for children and helping families secure the resources they need for recovery.
