There are immunities provided to state government offices and tort notice requirements that have to be met when you are asserting a claim against a public entity, so if your daughter is significantly hurt, then you should not delay contacting an attorney.
You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state). Personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed. Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.
