As an experienced Rochester Personal Injury Lawyer, a lot of moms and dads will come in after their child has been injured at school and they want to know whether or not they have a claim against the school. What I tell them is we have to do a full and complete investigation about how the accident happened. Sometimes the school could be responsible if the teacher or an administrator was supposed to be supervising and was not doing a good job, or was not doing the job at all.
Often times what happens is perhaps another student may have been responsible as well. One of my jobs is to properly advise the mom or dad about their child’s accident, and to do a fair evaluation about whether or not they have a claim, and if they do, who’s responsible. Is another child responsible? Is the school responsible, or some combination of both?
