As a parent, nothing is more important than your child’s safety. That’s why so many working families place their trust in daycare centers, believing their children will be cared for, protected, and supervised. But what happens when that trust is broken—when your child comes home injured, or worse, abused?
If your child has been harmed at daycare, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed, angry, and uncertain about what to do next. At Herrman & Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers, we understand the fear and frustration you’re facing—and we’re here to help you hold negligent daycare facilities accountable.
When Is a Daycare Legally Responsible?
Minor bumps and bruises are common during playtime, but when a child is seriously injured due to lack of supervision, negligence, or even abuse, that’s not an accident—it’s a failure of duty.
Daycares have a legal obligation to create a safe environment and properly monitor the children in their care. When they neglect this responsibility—by hiring unqualified staff, failing to supervise children, or ignoring signs of abuse—they can and should be held legally accountable.
Can I Sue the Daycare?
Yes, you may be able to file a civil lawsuit against the daycare facility for negligence. Even if criminal charges are not filed, you still have the right to pursue financial compensation for the harm done to your child and the emotional toll it’s taken on your family.
At Herrman & Herrman, we help families like yours file claims that seek justice and provide the financial resources needed for recovery. This compensation can include:
-
Medical expenses
-
Ongoing therapy or treatment
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional distress
-
Lost wages (if you had to miss work)
What Does the Legal Process Look Like?
Our experienced attorneys begin by listening to your story. We take the time to understand what happened, gather evidence, and determine if you have a strong case. From there, we’ll handle every step of the process—investigating the daycare’s hiring practices, supervision policies, and prior complaints, if any.
Depending on your case, we may pursue:
-
A settlement – Many daycares prefer to settle out of court to avoid publicity. We negotiate aggressively to make sure you’re fairly compensated.
-
A court trial – If a settlement isn’t possible, we’re prepared to take your case to trial and fight for justice in front of a judge and jury.
Throughout it all, we’re your advocates—fighting for your child’s future and your peace of mind.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
