A: Certainly, the day care center was negligent. From a practical standpoint, most attorneys limit their practices to cases involving some form of physical injuries. The laws, standards of proof, and collectible damages may be limited by the applicable law in place. Most personal injury attorneys will provide a free consultation. Contact a local personal injury attorney. I think that the main challenge in the case concerns damages.
