If your child has been injured at daycare, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed, confused, and unsure about what to do next. One of the most common concerns we hear from parents in your shoes is, “Will my child be involved in the legal case against the daycare?”
At The Button Law Firm, we want to start by saying this: your child’s safety, well-being, and healing are always our top priorities. If you’re considering legal action, it’s completely natural to be concerned about how the process might affect them. The good news? Children are not directly involved in the legal proceedings in most daycare negligence cases.
Our Focus Is Protecting Your Child—Every Step of the Way
Daycare injury cases are incredibly sensitive. Many parents worry that filing a lawsuit might force their child to relive a traumatic experience. But the reality is, our job as your legal team is to carry that burden so you and your child don’t have to.
We work hard to build a strong case by relying on evidence such as:
-
Medical records
-
Daycare incident reports
-
Witness statements
-
Expert opinions
All of this allows us to hold the daycare accountable without putting your child through additional stress.
When Child Testimony Is Needed
In some cases, especially if your child is older and can clearly express what happened and how it impacted them, their insight may help support the case. If that happens, we will handle this part of the process with the utmost care and professionalism.
We work closely with child psychologists and forensic interviewers who are trained to talk to children in age-appropriate, compassionate, and non-threatening ways. We aim to protect your child’s mental and emotional well-being while ensuring their voice is heard when necessary.
Many Cases Settle Out of Court
Something else may give you peace of mind: many daycare injury cases are resolved outside the courtroom. That means it’s possible to reach a settlement that brings justice and closure—without ever needing your child to be involved.
And whether your case settles or moves toward trial, we’re here to make the legal process as smooth and stress-free as possible for your family.
