Student Injury/Negligent Supervision

As parents, we expect our school districts to keep our children safe from harms. School districts owe a unique duty of care to protect students from foreseeable harm, including harm from third parties. This includes a duty “to anticipate dangers which may reasonably be anticipated, and to then take precautions to protect” against said dangers.

Unfortunately, often times this duty of care is compromised. Negligence in the school setting can take many forms that cause physical and psychological harm.

Here are a few examples of cases we are currently working on:

• High school student suffers serious injuries as a result of negligent supervision/safety measures allowing well known “horseplay” in the hallways.
• Middle school student suffers injury as a result of bullying and school fails to protect victim.
• Young child suffers racial discrimination by school staff.

Many times once an assault occurs there have been multiple incidences and warning signs leading up to it.

We help families hold school districts accountable.
