Schools and day care centers are a very important element in the care of children.  The well-being of  young children is often assumed.  The trust parents and guardians place in the day care facilities and schools is often rewarded with outstanding care.  However there are occasions where these environments don’t provide the proper supervision and safety that children require…and need.  Injuries can come as a result.  When a child is hurt, there are a number of potential legal suits that can be taken.  A  potential law suit would depend on the severity of the injury, as well as the incident that occurred.        

 Children need to be protected; their safety needs to be ensured.  When their well-being is not handled properly and they are injured, some of the possible legal claims include the following:  failure to provide a safe environment, failure to keep the child away from hazardous items, failure to prevent the child from being injured or bullied by other children, and failure to provide adequate supervision and monitoring.  

 Florida law offers grants of immunity to public schools from being sued.  An experienced Florida child injury attorney can determine if these legal obstacles can be overcome by studying the specifics of your case and advising you on the merits of your claim.
