Florida Daycare Injury Lawyer

 Every day, thousands of South Florida parents place their trust in daycares, preschools, and after-care programs so they can provide for their families. These facilities may be large commercial centers or small in-home providers, but all share one critical duty: to keep children safe. When that duty is ignored or corners are cut, the smallest lapse can lead to life-changing injuries for a child and devastating consequences for their family.

At My Law Hero, attorney Jonny Davalos believes that anyone entrusted with children must exercise the highest level of care, supervision, and judgment. If your child has been injured due to negligence in a daycare or childcare setting, you do not have to face the system alone. Call 305-786-HELP today for a free, confidential consultation with a Florida child-injury lawyer dedicated to protecting families and holding negligent providers accountable.

 Florida requires licensing and minimum safety practices for child-care facilities (see Chapter 402, Florida Statutes, and Florida Administrative Code Ch. 65C-22). These rules address things like staff qualifications, staff-to-child ratios, sanitation, emergency plans, and child transportation obligations. Whether your child was in a center or an in-home setting, those rules—and local licensing—help us prove what the provider should have done.  

 Playground-related injuries are evaluated against national guidance and standards, including the CPSC Public Playground Safety Handbook (July 2025) and ASTM F1487. These inform safe surfacing depths, equipment spacing, entanglement/entrapment prevention, and age-appropriate design.  

 Florida now gives two years for most negligence claims (§95.11), and certain circumstances can pause (“toll”) deadlines (§95.051). Because evidence (video, logs, text messages) is perishable, early legal holds and preservation letters are critical—even if you’re not ready to file. We’ll protect your rights and keep options open.

 In Miami-Dade, daycare facilities are not only governed by Florida’s statewide licensing rules but are also subject to local inspections and enforcement by the County’s Child Care Licensing and Regulation Division. Inspectors review staff-to-child ratios, playground safety, sanitation, and emergency procedures. These inspection reports are public records, and our firm regularly requests them to see whether a provider has a history of violations. If your child’s daycare has been cited—or should have been—you can count on My Law Hero to uncover those records and use them to strengthen your case.
