Filing a Lawsuit After Your Child Gets Injured at Daycare

Daycare Lawsuits: What Happens After Signing Up with a Daycare Injury Attorney

First, our experienced daycare injury team at The Button Law Firm will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the injury. This may entail gathering evidence and consulting with experts to get an understanding of what went wrong and how the injury occurred.

If your daycare injury legal team determines that the daycare engaged in negligence or other misconduct, they will proceed with sending a demand package to the daycare’s insurance company. This demand package is usually sent in the pre-litigation phase when your lawyer tries to get recovery from the opposing party before filing the lawsuit in court.

While pre-litigation aims to resolve the matter efficiently, litigation becomes necessary when the insurance company and defendants do not want to take the case seriously or refuse to accept responsibility.  Litigation ensures that our client's interests are vigorously defended and pursued through every stage of the legal process.

If the opposing party is unwilling to cooperate or will not come to a fair agreement, your legal team will likely move on to litigation, which involves filing a lawsuit. To start this process, your attorney will file a lawsuit, outlining the claims against the daycare facility and the damages suffered by the child and their family.

Once the lawsuit is filed, the daycare facility’s insurance company and its lawyers will have an opportunity to respond. The legal process will proceed with discovery, during which both sides exchange evidence and information relevant to the case. During the discovery time frame, this is where both sides exchange information, take depositions of all key witnesses, and designate any experts. If both parties cannot come to an agreement, the last resort is the case going to trial, where a judge or jury will be the decision-makers on the final verdict.
