Frequently Asked Questions

What is Classified as Child Care Malpractice?

Child care malpractice can lead to devastating injuries that severely impact a child’s health and development, including traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and long-term disabilities. Medical professionals assess the severity of these injuries, while legal experts evaluate potential claims for negligence. Seeking immediate medical attention is crucial to determine the extent of harm and whether long-term care will be necessary. Compensation in these cases can help cover medical expenses, ongoing therapy, and emotional distress. It’s essential to contact a child care malpractice attorney as soon as possible to protect your child’s rights and navigate complex legal and insurance matters. Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. If your child has suffered due to negligent care, reach out for a consultation to explore your legal options. Contact Us Today
