Accidents at School

Has your child been a victim at school?

ACCIDENTS AT SCHOOL

We send our children to school every day with an unspoken contract that they will return again, uninjured, at the end of the school day. Schools have an obligation to adequately supervise students in their charge, and they will be held liable for injuries caused by the absence of adequate supervision. Our office has represented countless families whose children were injured at school due to a lack of supervision. If a school knew or should have known that a particular student was violent and posed a threat to a classmate, the school is required to take measures to protect the threatened child. Our office has successfully represented students who were severely injured by bullies or gang members where the school failed to take any preventative action.

REPRESENTING EVERY KIND
OF SCHOOL-BASED INJURY

From day care centers to high school and beyond, children suffer from almost every kind of injury:

Unsafe infrastructure. Misleveled walkways, broken windows and doors

Dangerous activities. Injuries in gym class or class trips

Negligent Supervision/Security. Kids attack other kids, strangers, on school grounds and on buses. Bullying is ignored. School officials harass or abuse children.
Children are victims of sexual assault

 

SCHOOL ACCIDENTS

If your child has been injured at school, you may be entitled to compensation. We urge you to call the school injury lawyers at Peña & Kahn to discuss your case. Children's versions of accidents are often discounted, but we conduct an independent investigation to establish what happened and who was responsible.
