In general, you have the right to sue for any injury your child suffered because of someone else’s unreasonably dangerous decisions or actions. It’s not unusual for children to suffer injuries in a school setting. After all, that’s where they spend a good part of their days.
Of course, not all school-related injuries justify a lawsuit. But some do, such as when:
- A teacher physically or sexually abuses a student;
- Teachers or administrators turn a blind eye to bullying or other harmful behavior by one student against another;
- Coaches and supervisors do not take appropriate safety measures to keep student-athletes safe at practices or games; or
- Spending time in a school building exposes children to dangerous levels of toxic substances or materials, such as lead paint dust or asbestos.
Be aware: you may need to act quickly to preserve your child’s rights to sue for injuries suffered in a school setting. If your child attends a public school in Atlantic City, for instance, you may need to give notice to the school of a potential claim within 90 days of the injury happening.
