Clayton County family wins $2 million after child breaks leg at Atlanta daycare center

The family of a child who attended Raven’s Learning Haven Daycare Center in Atlanta won a multi-million dollar award from a Clayton County jury.

According to Morgan and Morgan, the firm which represented the family, the boy suffered a fractured femur while at Raven’s Learning Haven Daycare Center in January 2023.

At the time, the boy was just 13 months old when he was injured, sustaining a nondisplaced spiral fracture of his femur while in the center’s care.

Morgan and Morgan attorneys took on the case and the boy’s mother filed a lawsuit alleging negligence at the daycare.

More than three years after the boy’s injury, the family won a $2 million verdict, awarded by a Clayton County jury.

“No child should have to endure a preventable injury like this while in the care of a facility entrusted with their safety,” Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan and attorney Shellea Huff said in a statement. “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.”
