This blog post outlines the essential actions to take and the legal considerations involved.
The immediate aftermath of a crèche accident requires swift action.
Document the Incident: Gather as much information as possible about the accident. This includes:
Seek Medical Attention: The health and safety of your child is the top priority. Regardless of the apparent severity of the injury, ensure your child receives immediate medical care. This not only safeguards their health but also creates a crucial medical record that can be used as evidence in a potential legal claim.
Incident Report: Obtain a written incident report from the crèche management. This report should detail what happened and any actions taken by the staff.
If your child’s injury was caused by negligence, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim.
