Child Caretaker Negligence
Even though most parents would like to stay home and take care of their children, current economic conditions have forced many parents back into the workforce sooner than expected. Thus, families with young children may be forced to rely on nannies or au pairs to care for their children while the parents are working. While some babysitters offer careful, thorough supervision, other child caretakers can fail in the proper care of your children.
Unfortunately, many nannies that appear qualified with good references can still act negligently and actually harm your child. If your child has suffered an injury because of a negligent babysitter or nanny, you need to hold the careless party responsible. To talk with a professional legal representative about your options, contact the Philadelphia personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., today at 215-238-1130 and schedule a free consultation.
Types of Babysitter Negligence
The severity of au pair negligence can vary greatly. In some cases, babysitters physically assault the child if he or she misbehaves. In other cases, it may simply be failing to properly supervise the child. Let us fight for the financial compensation you need if your child has been injured from any of the following types of nanny negligence:
- Leaving children unsupervised
