School should be a place where a child can feel safe and protected from physical harm. Yet, every year, vulnerable schoolchildren suffer serious injuries while under the supervision of schoolteachers and staff members.
We aren't referring to scraped knees or bloody noses. We are speaking of serious, sometimes catastrophic, injuries caused by the failure of those we trust with our children's lives.
The attorneys of Kinerk, Beal, Schmidt, Dyer & Sethi represent families of children who have suffered injuries at school. We pursue compensation for clients whose children suffer all types of school-related injury, including:
- Sexual abuse or molestation by a teacher, staff member, bus driver, volunteer, another student or someone who just wandered onto the school grounds.
- Serious physical injuries that occur in classrooms, hallways, on playgrounds, during sports events, extra-curricular activities or field trips because of dangerous conditions or lack of supervision.
- School bus accidents and injuries including those caused by crashes, running over children as they enter or exit the bus, dropping off children at the wrong stop, drunk driving, improper maintenance and failure to perform a criminal background check on the driver.
We represented a student who attended a school-sponsored football clinic. The players got rowdy, piling on top of our client. The coach let it go on so long that our client ended up with a ruptured spleen.
What If I Signed a Release Form?
Even if you signed a waiver releasing the school from liability, you may still be able to collect compensation for injuries caused by negligence. Read more about overcoming the restrictions of liability release forms in our Newsletter. and in "Please Release Me," an article written by our attorney Dev K. Smith.
If your child was harmed at school because of any type of negligence, please contact our personal injury lawyers to discuss your legal rights and options. The initial consultation is free and you will pay no attorney fees unless we win damages in your case.
