Fighting for Injury Victims Who Deserve Better
If your child was injured at a daycare or childcare center in San Fernando Valley due to inadequate supervision, unsafe premises, or staff negligence, the consequences, physical injury, developmental disruption, and emotional trauma, can extend well beyond the incident itself. Licensing records, inspection reports, and incident documentation are essential evidence that must be preserved quickly after an injury occurs.Born and Raised in the San Fernando Valley
I grew up in Woodland Hills, went to El Camino Real High School, and earned my law degree at UCLA. I still live in the Valley today, biking Las Virgenes Canyon near Valley Circle and Victory, spending evenings at Local Peasant on Ventura. I've represented injured residents across the Valley, from Calabasas and Woodland Hills to Sherman Oaks and Studio City, for years. Arya Firoozmand has represented families in daycare and childcare injury cases throughout San Fernando Valley, gathering licensing records, inspection histories, and incident documentation quickly, and holding facilities accountable for supervision failures and unsafe conditions.
Why Your Case Is Different
The 101 through the San Fernando Valley is one of the most congested freeways in California. CHP SWITRS data shows consistent patterns of rear-end and lane-change crashes between the Woodland Hills and Studio City sections, particularly at peak commute hours.
Ventura Boulevard runs the length of the Valley from Studio City to Woodland Hills. High pedestrian traffic, numerous driveways and commercial entrances, and heavy local traffic make it a consistent location for pedestrian accidents, rear-end collisions, and slip-and-fall incidents.
The California Department of Social Services licenses and regulates childcare facilities. Violations of staff-to-child ratio requirements, facility safety standards, and supervision rules are powerful evidence of negligence in civil claims.
The daycare facility operator bears direct liability for negligent supervision and unsafe conditions. Property owners of the premises may also be liable for structural hazards. We pursue both in appropriate cases.

How Westwood Law Builds a Daycare Injury Case
Daycare facilities are licensed and regulated, licensing records and inspection history are critical evidence.
Request CDSS licensing and inspection records
California Community Care Licensing records, including inspection reports, complaint investigations, and prior deficiency citations, are obtained immediately to establish whether the facility had known safety failures.
Preserve incident reports and communications
We secure the facility's incident report, all communications to parents, medical records, and any video footage of the incident or the child's condition before and after.
Investigate supervision ratios and staff qualifications
California law sets specific staff-to-child ratios by age group. Violations of these ratios, or placing unqualified staff in supervisory roles, are direct evidence of negligence.
Identify all defendants
Liability may extend beyond the daycare operator to individual staff members, the property owner, franchisor entities, and any third-party contractors responsible for facility safety or maintenance.
