Legal advice?

Question:

My daughter was injured at a daycare.A cabinet that was not anchored fell over and broke her big toe. It also took seven stiches to close the cut.I still have to take her to see an orthopedic doctor.I was told she may not ever walk normal.I will have to miss work to take her to these appointments.I have been advised by several people to file suit.I just need to know if someone could give me some legal advice. Thanks

Answers:
file an insurance claim against the day care, they should cover all medical expenses as well as condensate you for any time you miss from work due to the day cares negligence. You may also need to see an attorney about additional reimbursements for expenses caused by their careless placement of office equipment, lack of supervision .

talk to an attorney,, wont cost a dime..

Plaintiffs' personal injury lawyers will often meet with you for a free consultation and, if they take your case, it may be on a contingency fee basis (30 to 40 percent of any recovery plus costs).

Be advised that going forward with a claim about future orthopedic problems is more complex than just asking for your current medical expenses. You could just present your medical bills to the center on your own and eliminate the middleman (and expenses). Then, if you don't get satisfaction, you could speak to a lawyer. Just don't accept a settlement if you intend to seek further damages.

One tip for engaging an attorney: see if they will give you a sliding scale. For instance, if they are able to settle the case satisfactorily via a letter without filing suit, see if they will take a lower contingency than they would get if they have to take the case to trial.

You may also want to report this incident to the daycare licensing agency. I can't believe that they would be allowed to operate without securing large cabinets to the walls.
