Our Michigan child injury lawyers recently settled a lawsuit against a Ottawa County area daycare center. A child at the center suffered a serious injury to his finger due to a defective piece of equipment at the facility. It resulted in a severe laceration of his finger that required surgical pinning. The daycare center admitted that it was at fault for the injury but partially blamed the child’s parents for failing to follow up with recommended medical care. This issue went up to the Michigan Court of Appeals and we prevailed against that argument on both a legal and factual basis. The daycare center paid a settlement of $40,000 to the injured child.

Our Michigan child injury lawyers have created a book, “Little Kids, Big Accidents” written by child injury attorney Lawrence J. Buckfire. This book is a parent’s guide to child injury cases in Michigan. The book normally sells for $14.95 on Amazon, but if you request the book from us, we will send it to you for FREE!

Parents of injured children do have legal rights. Call us now at (800) 606-1717 to speak with an experienced Michigan child injury attorney if your child suffers injuries due to a daycare or school accident.
