Yes, We Handle Daycare Injury Lawsuits – And We’re Here to Help
Yes, we do.
If your child has been injured at a daycare, you may feel a mix of anger, sadness, and helplessness. It’s heartbreaking to realize that a place you trusted failed to protect your child. At Genthe Law Firm, we stand beside families facing one of the hardest experiences of their lives.
Aaron Genthe leads our team with compassion and determination, focusing on civil daycare injury lawsuits. That means we help parents seek financial compensation when daycare centers act negligently and a child gets hurt. Sometimes, a daycare worker’s actions can also lead to a criminal case. When that happens, you can still file a civil lawsuit at the same time – because holding the wrongdoers criminally responsible doesn’t cover your family’s emotional, financial, and future losses.
This article will walk you through the steps, explain your options, and show why families across Texas trust Aaron Genthe to guide them through this difficult process.
What Kinds of Daycare Injury Cases Does Genthe Law Firm Handle?
Civil Cases Focused on Compensation
Genthe Law Firm handles civil cases, where the goal is to recover compensation for the physical injuries, emotional pain, medical costs, and long-term effects caused by daycare negligence.
Examples include:
- Unsafe playgrounds leading to injuries
- Failure to supervise, resulting in serious accidents
- Neglect or repeated mistreatment
- Dangerous conditions inside or outside the daycare building
In civil cases, we are seeking justice through financial recovery – helping you cover the real costs and impact of what happened to your child.
Criminal Cases and Civil Lawsuits at the Same Time
If a daycare worker physically assaults a child or commits another serious crime, the state may pursue criminal charges. You can still file a civil lawsuit separately to seek damages.
- Criminal cases punish wrongdoers.
- Civil lawsuits help families recover the financial and emotional losses caused by that wrongdoing.

When Is a Daycare Center Legally Responsible?
Violations of Texas Daycare Safety Standards
Texas law sets out strict minimum standards for daycare centers.
When those standards are broken and a child is harmed, the daycare may be legally responsible.
The minimum standards include rules about:
- Staff-to-child ratios
- Playground and building safety
- Health and hygiene practices
- Staff background checks and training
Aaron Genthe carefully investigates whether the daycare failed in its duties – and whether that failure led to your child’s injuries.
