Families have a right to expect their children to be safe at school. When the school fails to provide proper supervision, safe premises or a safe school environment, they should be held accountable for a child's injuries.
A boy suffered a fractured (and subsequently infected) thigh bone on a school playground during a prohibited game of suicide. We sued the City of New York, claiming negligence of school personnel in failing to supervise children properly on the playground and enforce school rules and negligence of City hospital personnel in failing to adequately address the child’s medical needs. The verdict: $1.6 million.
- School accident investigation: Our law firm has knowledgable experts and investigators who can determine what caused your child's injury at school. We will look into all aspects of the case, including previous incidents that should have alerted the school to potential problems, whether they were defects on the premises, illnesses in the student body or abuse by teachers and/or other students. If medical malpractice made the situation worse, we will also pursue a claim against the hospital or doctor.
- Accountability: It is important to keep our schools safe. Our personal injury lawyers are concerned about any situation that has the potential of injuring a child — having children wait outside in unsafe conditions, failing to maintain safe school property, failing to provide adequate supervision in the classroom and on the playground, and more.
