Daycare Negligent Supervision in LaGrange, GA
Injury: Emotional trauma, minor physical injuries (blisters to feet)
Case Summary: A three year old child walked out of the front door of a daycare facility without supervision and remained missing for approximately 30 to 60 minutes. During that time, the child wandered across busy streets and was ultimately found standing alone in the middle of a multi lane roadway. The daycare failed to notify the parents, who only learned of the situation after their child was returned home by a stranger.
Although the child thankfully avoided serious physical injury, the incident revealed a complete breakdown in supervision and safety protocols. Lonati Law Firm was contact by the original attorney who was hired to litigate this case where Michael Lonati Jr was able hold the daycare accountable for its negligence and secured an $85,000 settlement in 2023. This case underscores that lack of serious physical injury does not excuse reckless endangerment of a child.
