Can you sue if your child gets hurt at school?
If the school is private, you can sue the school directly. If the school is public, reporting the accident to the district comes first. You must first file a claim with the school district before filing a lawsuit – and you generally only have 60 to 90 days, because it is treated as a government case.

What happens if a student is arrested for minor assault?
On the one hand, if the school doesn’t call the police to arrest the student, they may breach their duty of care to protect the other students. On the other hand, having a student arrested for a minor assault can seriously affect the student’s future. An arrest record, even for a minor assault, can have far-reaching consequences.
What are my child’s rights if another student attacks my child?
Your child has a right to compensation for injuries from an assault by another student. We send our kids off to school each day with the expectation they will be kept safe and free from undue harm. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
Is your child being harassed at school?
It’s no news that kids bully and harass other kids at school—verbally, physically, or on social media. And some students are particularly vulnerable to harassment, particularly children with disabilities and kids who don’t fit traditional gender norms.
What happens if a student is injured at school?
If a student is unduly harmed or injured as a result of this negligence, then the school is liable, meaning responsible, for any damages suffered by the student, such as medical costs, pain and suffering, and the parent’s lost wages while caring for their child. The school had a legal duty of care to the injured student.
