  Aug 07, 2010

  Sounds like the parents of this Delray Beach child who dies while she was left unattended in the day car Van may have a claim for damages. The potential sources of recovery are
  1. The daycare's insurance policy
  2. The daycare van driver
  3. UM insurance purchased by the parents
  4. Any regulatory agency responsible for bringing the Day care in the compliance of any regulation
  
  What is pretty clear is that no amount of money will bring the little girl back or ease the pain of her loss, but the parents should not just let this go either there needs to be some responsibility - 2 - 10

  The force of the side impact derailed the Saturn, with five passengers inside, causing it to slamm into a sign, a pole and some hedges. The impact threw a 1-month-old boy, Travis Allen, from the car. Firefighters had to pull out Fulton and Tyler Supall, 7, who were trapped inside.
  
  Latasha Fulton, 25, Clement Supall, 5, and Shaniyaa Keels, 10, were also in the Saturn but managed to get out. Latasha Fulton was taken to Broward General and remains in serious condition. Clement Supall, 5, and Shaniyaa Keels, 10 have been released.
  
  The driver of the Toyota pickup truck, Oscar Montalvan, 38, and his wife Claudia, 38, are both in the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening. If it i determined that this accident was the truck drivers fault, he better have some decent insurance, or he is going to have a Judgment following him around for the next 20 years.
