At Montes Law Group, P.C we fully understand that parents place a high level of trust in day care centers to protect their children because we are parents. We have lived and worked in the Grapevine area for years and understand that even in a community that you think is safe, there is seemingly always someone out there harming children. That is why Texas has enacted laws that to protect children and to ensure that day care facilities are operated in a manner that reduces the risk that children will be victimized. These laws require that day care centers must be properly licensed, staffed and operated in a safe manner. In addition, day care facilities have a duty to conduct an investigation into the background of workers to make sure that they do not pose a risk of harm to the children. If you are concerned that your child has been physically or sexually assaulted by a day care worker or seriously injured while at a day care facility, you need to take immediate action to protect your child.

Report the incident to the police immediately. Then, contact Rachel Montes to investigate a premises liability claim and to help protect your child.

Mr. Clark was the victim of a car wreck in Dallas when he vehicle was struck broadside by a car driven by Federico Gonzalez. Mr. Clark suffered numerous injuries including a knee injury as a wreck of the crash. Despite the fact that the negligence of Federico Gonzalez was not disputed, Allstate refused to make a fair offer to settle the case. As you can see from a copy of the Final Judgment that was entered in the case, the jury awarded Mr. Clark $77,752.18 in total damages, far more than Allstate ever offered on the case.
