No, it does not matter that you signed a daycare liability waiver.
These types of liability waivers hold almost no weight in court and are often dismissed because they directly contradict the daycare’s duty of care to you and your child.
The first step in filing a lawsuit is to speak with a lawyer.
You will answer a few initial questions, and after that, the firm will decide if you have a case that can be pursued.
If the answer is yes, they will begin investigating your case to gather evidence to pursue further.

How an Injury Attorney Can Help
Before moving forward with a negligence lawsuit, familiarize yourself with the steps in a civil lawsuit.
From there, you must complete a few important steps with the help and guidance of your attorney:
Mitigate Injuries
Gather Evidence
Assess Damages
An accident attorney will also help to determine liability for your personal injury claim and explain to the courts how negligence of another party injured your loved one.
Mitigate Injuries
With any case of negligent supervision, it’s important for the affected person to seek medical care and attempt to best recuperate from any injury.
If you loved one has suffered from an injury, seek medical treatment right away and follow the instructions of medical personnel.
Failure to properly mitigate injuries, with medical issues left unchanged and able to worsen, can result in a dismissal of any legal action, barring certain circumstances.
Gathering Evidence
Gather evidence for your case including any involved names, photos, videos, and receipts. Personal injury cases are won and lost based solely on the evidence provided.
Evidence in a daycare abuse lawsuit includes:
Medical records and bills
Photos or videos of injuries
Photos or videos of abuse
Photos or videos of the site of an accident
Witness statements
Statements from responding authorities if available
Your injury attorney will examine the facts and evidence to determine who is liable for injuries and damages.
Assessing Damages
Your attorney will begin assessing damages that you, your family member, or loved one incurred as a result of the alleged abuse.
Your lawyer will work to settle your lawsuit out of court or take it to a jury trial and win a verdict; in either case, the goal is to win compensation that covers the costs of damages.
Are Daycare Accidents Common?
According to the Center for American Progress, “almost one-quarter (23.4 percent) of kids under the age of five are in some form of organized child care arrangement, which includes daycare centers, nurseries, and preschools.”
With a large portion of the country’s youth enrolled in child care, daycare accidents are not uncommon.
There is even a quality rating and improvement system for early learning and development programs such as licensed child care centers, Preschool for All, and Head Start programs.
It is also important to note that you should only place your child in a licensed facility.
The State of Illinois has strict requirements for licensing daycares and preschools.
Licensed childcare facilities also do have a duty of care, or obligation, to prevent accidents from occurring and if they do happen, report those accidents immediately.
What Types of Injuries are Common at Daycare Facilities?
There are a multitude of injuries that can occur at a daycare center:
Cuts and bruises
Broken bones
Head injury, specifically from falling
Dental injury
Unintentional poisoning
Drowning
Burns
Choking or suffocating
Abuse
In an unsafe daycare, children can suffer from several accidents – falling from high points, abuse at the hands of others, drowning while unsupervised in a pool, choking on random items, ingesting cleaning supplies, or even electrocution.
If your child was injured while under the watch of a daycare employee or care provider, ensure 911 is called immediately and medical treatment is provided.
Sexual Abuse at Daycare Facilities
Child-care centers are unfortunately places where sexual abuse can occur. The non-profit Darkness to Light published statistics on sexual abuse in child-care centers, finding that of employees who were found to be exhibiting abusive or negligent conduct, 20% committed sexual abuse.
Liability for a Child's Injury
Determining liability for your child’s injuries is completely dependent on the specific situation.
Liability could be placed on an employee failed to properly supervise your child.
Liability could be determined if a property owner did not keep up their premises, even with the knowledge that it could be potentially dangerous, and a child is injured because of the condition of the site.
There can even be more than one person held liable, depending on the circumstances.
There is not always a clear-cut answer as to who, or what organization, will hold liability, which is why it is important to discuss your case with a premises liability lawyer sooner rather than later.
A premises liability lawyer will be able to help determine the at-fault party in a particular case.
Can a School be Held Liable for Child Injuries?
In Illinois, liability cannot typically be placed on a school for any personal injury occurred on their property.
Public schools are generally immune to legal action for any accident that happens on their property.
A public school cannot be held liable for an accident unless “willful and wanton misconduct” is found to have occurred.
Willful and wanton misconduct refers to “a course of action which shows an actual or deliberate intention to cause harm or which, if not intentional, shows an utter indifference to or conscious disregard for the safety of others or their property.” If an accident occurred at a school because of negligent supervision, willful and wanton acts, your lawyer may have to file a notice of claim in order for the lawsuit to be legitimate.
Legal action against a public school, school district, or school employees can be complicated.
Contact an attorney if your kid was injured on school property.
