Morgan & Morgan Secures $2 Million Verdict In Daycare Injury Case Involving 13-Month-Old Child

[Atlanta, GA] – A Clayton County jury awarded $2 million to the family of a boy who suffered a fractured femur while attending Raven’s Learning Haven Daycare Center in Atlanta. The family was represented by Morgan & Morgan attorneys Shellea (Shelly) Huff, Ryan Christopher Rodems and Gregory J. Bosseler.

On January 26, 2023, the 13-month-old boy sustained a nondisplaced spiral fracture of his femur while in the care of Raven’s Learning Haven Daycare Center. His mother subsequently filed a lawsuit alleging negligence on the part of the daycare in connection with her son's injury.

“No child should have to endure a preventable injury like this while in the care of a facility entrusted with their safety,” said Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan and attorney Shellea (Shelly) Huff. “It takes significant force to break the femur, the strongest bone in the body, and this injury has drastically disrupted the little boy’s life and development. His mother fought for him, and the jury’s verdict holds the daycare accountable. We hope it sends a message to childcare providers that child safety is not optional.”

The case was heard in the State Court of Clayton County, Georgia, Case No. 2023CV00657. The defendant, Raven’s Learning Haven Daycare Center, Inc., was represented by Andrew Horowitz of Drew Eckl & Farnham, LLP.
