Common Daycare Injuries in Conroe and Who’s Legally Responsible

In Conroe and across Texas, daycare injuries are, unfortunately, a common occurrence in early childhood. Kids are naturally active, curious, and sometimes a bit reckless, which is all part of growing up. Most parents understand that minor bumps and bruises are a regular part of growing up. But what happens when your child comes home with an injury that shouldn’t have happened? At Bivona Law Firm, we’re not just legal advocates; we’re parents, too. We understand how frightening and frustrating it can be to see your child hurt, especially when it might have been preventable. 

What Counts as a "Normal" Daycare Injury? 

Most daycare injuries stem from everyday accidents. These are the kinds of injuries that can occur even in the most careful and attentive settings. For instance: 

• Playground accidents: Falling from monkey bars or slipping off a slide can lead to sprains or even broken bones. 

• Minor fights between children: It’s not unusual for kids to scuffle, especially if supervision is slightly delayed. 

• Slips and falls: Spilled juice, scattered toys, or even just running too fast can lead to cuts and bruises. 

• Scraped knees, small bites, or minor burns often occur during exploration and play. 

These types of incidents aren’t necessarily signs of wrongdoing. They’re often unfortunate but understandable outcomes of kids being kids. 

When It’s More Than Just an Accident: Daycare Negligence 

The line between an accident and negligence is crossed when caregivers fail to meet their basic responsibilities. Daycare providers have a legal and moral duty to maintain a safe environment and adequately supervise the children in their care. When they fall short, children can suffer serious and entirely preventable harm. This includes: 

• Lack of supervision that results in fights, choking, or falls from unsafe heights. 

• Failure to protect against known allergies leads to dangerous or even life-threatening reactions. 

• Leaving harmful substances like cleaning supplies or medications within a child’s reach. 

• Allowing access to unsafe toys or small objects that pose choking hazards. 

• Improper training or response during emergencies, such as failing to perform CPR or calling for help in a timely manner. 

When these types of issues are present, your child’s injury may mean there was negligence involved, and someone should be held legally accountable. 

Who Is Legally Responsible? 

In Texas, the daycare provider, whether it’s an individual, a staff member, or the facility itself, may be held liable if it’s found to have been negligent. Under Texas law, daycare centers must meet specific safety and staffing standards. Failing to uphold these can be grounds for a personal injury claim. The legal process can be complex, but that’s where Bivona Law Firm can help.
