New York Day Care Injury Attorney
At Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP, we offer representation to parents and their children who are injured in preventable school and day care accidents.
All too often, such accidents occur because there are too many children and too few teachers. Other factors commonly contributing to school and day care accidents include negligent supervision, failure to follow proper procedures and failure to follow licensing rules.
If you have questions or concerns about your child's safety in school or day care, please contact Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss, LLP for a cost-free, no-obligation consultation.
