3. Can I file a child injury claim against a Philadelphia school system if my child suffers injury at school, on a field trip, or on the bus?

In some cases, you may have grounds for a Philadelphia child injury claim if your child suffered injuries at school or while attending a school-sponsored event, including riding the bus. The school and its employees bear a duty of care to your child when your child attends school, which means that they must take reasonable steps to help protect your child from suffering an injury.

If your child behaved in an appropriate manner, followed the rules, and did not engage in inappropriate activities, but suffered injuries due to the negligence of a caregiver, you may have grounds for a Philadelphia child injury claim.

It is often a difficult task to bring a Philadelphia child injury claim against a school district, so you should consider speaking with an attorney as soon after your child’s accident as possible to learn more about your legal rights and how to manage a Philadelphia child injury claim.
