What We Handle
Protecting Families Affected by Child Care Negligence
Placing your child in a daycare, camp or school requires trust. When that trust is broken due to negligence or unsafe conditions, the impact can be deeply upsetting for both children and their families. At Thomas & Wickenheiser, we provide compassionate, thoughtful support to help families navigate these difficult situations.
Our attorneys take the time to understand each case, explain your legal options clearly, and guide you through the process. We work to pursue compensation for medical expenses, emotional distress, and any lasting effects on your child’s well-being.
Childcare negligence may involve inadequate supervision, unsafe facilities, or failure to follow proper safety procedures. These conditions can lead to injuries, emotional harm, or developmental challenges. We carefully evaluate each situation to identify responsible parties and pursue appropriate legal action.
In more serious cases, negligence can result in long-term injuries requiring ongoing care. In the most tragic circumstances, families may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. While no outcome can replace such a loss, we approach these cases with care and dedication.
Negligence may also involve third parties, such as transportation providers or maintenance contractors. Our team examines all contributing factors to determine the best path forward.
With extensive experience in childcare negligence cases, we are committed to holding responsible parties accountable while supporting families every step of the way.

First Steps Toward Seeking Compensation for ChildCare Negligence
Your child’s health and well-being come first. After ensuring they receive proper care, the following steps may help strengthen your case:
Collect important records
Gather medical reports, incident reports from the daycare, photographs, and any communication with the facility.
Write down what happened
Document the details of the incident as soon as possible, including times, conditions, and any explanations provided by staff.
Identify potential witnesses
Make note of staff members, other parents, or anyone who may have information about the incident, along with their contact details.
Consult an attorney early
Before speaking with childcare representatives or insurance providers, it is important to seek legal guidance to protect your rights and understand your options.
