A young child was seriously hurt after being left unsupervised at a daycare center in Kansas City. While unattended, the 3-year-old fell from a slide and broke her femur.
This is a parent’s nightmare. After the incident, the family was left dealing with medical care, stress, and concerns about how this could have happened. What made this experience even more difficult for the family was that the insurance company refused to take responsibility for their actions and offered the family no money.
Our Kansas City premises liability lawyer investigated the circumstances of the fall, gathered evidence, and showed that proper supervision could have prevented the injury. We also applied pressure by highlighting the serious concerns the incident raised about safety and accountability.
As a result, we secured a $125,000 premises liability settlement in Kansas City for the child and family. This case is an important reminder that childcare providers have a duty to protect the children in their care.
