This insurance fund can provide coverage for claims of negligence against foster caregivers for failure to supervise a foster child or causing harm to a foster child.

- Contact law enforcement to open an investigation
- Obtain any and all information from the foster agency and the child welfare agency responsible for your child’s placement to get detailed information about the circumstances surrounding your child’s death.
- Request an autopsy and all medical records to determine the cause of death and whether it was preventable.
