Casey W. Stevens Law: Alpharetta Personal Injury and Car Accident Lawyers represents daycare negligence and abuse cases all over north Georgia from our six metro Atlanta area offices.
Leaving a child in a day care facility is not an easy decision. Parents must trust that the childcare facility they select will provide a safe environment and that the employees charged with watching over their children will be competent, properly trained and supervised. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and children are injured because of inadequate supervision and training, or even worse, physical or sexual abuse. According to recent surveys, there are currently over 13,000,000 children aged six (6) and under that spend some time in a day care setting. Parents' main concerns when sending their children to a day care setting are health and safety. Approximately 31,000 kids ages four (4) and under receive treatment in emergency rooms each year for injuries sustained while entrusted at a day care.
If you suspect that your child has been injured because of neglect or abuse at their daycare facility, Casey Stevens can help.

Despite this modest figure, it only takes one negligent daycare organization to cause your child great harm with negative effects that can linger for years to come.
