The Unthinkable Happened. You Are Not Alone.
Finding out your child was injured or abused at a daycare facility is every parent’s worst nightmare.
You’re left with endless questions and a deep sense of betrayal.
The first thing you need to know is that you are not alone, and what you’re feeling is valid.
The state of New York has stringent rules for childcare facilities for a reason. Yet, incidents of negligence and abuse still happen.
In 2024 alone, there were 555 serious injuries reported in New York’s regulated childcare facilities. These aren’t just statistics; they are families, just like yours, whose lives have been turned upside down.
The problem isn’t just the physical injury to your child. It’s the crushing weight of wondering if you could have done more, the fear for your child’s future, and the rage that a trusted caregiver could be so careless.
We believe that no parent should have to live with that burden.

Understanding Potential Recoveries
in NY Daycare Cases
Many law firms will show you flashy, unrelated case results. We believe it’s more helpful to show you real-world data for cases just like yours.
While every case is unique, reviewing recent settlements in New York can help you understand what’s possible.
- Negligence & Injury Claims: These cases often result in significant settlements. For example, a New York case involving a child who suffered brain damage after choking at a daycare settled for $475,000.
- Another case, where a five-month-old suffered a second-degree burn from a hot radiator, settled for $200,000.
- Abuse & CVA Claims: For cases involving sexual abuse, the Child Victims Act (CVA) has opened the door for survivors to seek justice decades later, often resulting in substantial, multi-million dollar recoveries against institutions that failed to protect them.
At TonaLaw, we have the expertise to value your case and fight for the maximum compensation your family deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Daycare Abuse in New York
It occurs when a childcare facility or its staff fails to provide the reasonable care expected to ensure a child’s safety, resulting in harm. This can include inadequate supervision, unsafe premises, staff misconduct, or failing to follow health and safety rules.
Recognized types include physical neglect, emotional neglect, physical abuse, psychological abuse, and sexual abuse.
Yes. A civil personal injury lawsuit has a lower burden of proof than a criminal case. We only need to show it was “more likely than not” that the negligence or abuse occurred to win your case for financial compensation.
The New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) investigates complaints against daycares. Their findings, including any citations for regulatory violations, can serve as invaluable evidence to support your civil lawsuit.
There are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case.
