Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers successfully secured a $285,000 settlement for a child injured in a daycare accident in Bowling Green. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will refer to the victim as T and her mother as Ms. W.
How Did the Bowling Green Day care accident occur?
On March 21st, 2023, our client Ms. W dropped her three-year-old daughter T off at daycare that morning like she normally would. Unfortunately for T, this would not be a normal day.
T would go on to play, and found herself standing on top of a table in the center of the play area surrounded by kids and two employees of the daycare; one off to the side of the room and one working directly with the children. When the active monitor grew impatient with T for standing on the table, she pushed her off and watched her fall directly onto her arm.
After the heinous act, T complained to the workers that she was in pain, but nobody listened to her. The employee responsible for her injury even grabbed her by the very arm that was broken. On top of all this, Ms. W was never called about the event.
What Injuries Were Sustained?
When Ms. W picked T up from daycare, she immediately knew T had been injured and took her to a local Graves Gilbert Clinic to see about the pain throughout T’s injured arm. After an x-ray, it was clear T had suffered a humeral fracture.
T was referred to the local ER where she was then transferred to Vanderbilt University Children’s Hospital. It was here she received her final diagnosis- a closed supracondylar fracture of her right humerus just above her elbow. She faced surgery, physical therapy, and potential lifelong consequences.
How Did the Flora Templeton Stuart Team Help?
When Ms. W contacted Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers, our team worked to get information about the accident and T’s injuries, documenting her medical bills and her pain and suffering. Our team sent preservation letters for evidence, received investigation files, collected video surveillance, and had our private investigator get witness statements. Our attorneys reviewed the evidence of the case to understand the incident and how the injury had impacted T.
From there our attorneys drafted an extensive demand letter to the insurance company that included details of the daycare incident, the injuries that T had sustained, and a comprehensive guide to T’s damages. When the insurance company gave an initial offer of only $70,000, we filed a lawsuit.
After extensive mediation, the Flora Templeton Stuart team was able to secure a total settlement of $285,000, and we helped establish a structured settlement for T to allow her money to grow over time.
