School Accidents

When you send your kids off to school you expect them to be going to a safe and secure environment. Most of the time, schools are safe and secure, but sometimes accidents happen. If your child was injured at school through no fault of his own, you may be eligible to obtain fair compensation.

Some accidents are unavoidable, such as when a child falls on the playground or sprains an ankle in gym class. Many times, there is no one to blame for these accidents, and therefore the school is not responsible for the accident or for providing compensation.

Other times, accidents occur due to the negligence of the school. For example, a student may trip on the playground because of cracked pavement, a child may have a head injury because the teacher didn’t make sure the student was wearing the right safety gear, or untreated ice on the sidewalk may cause a student to slip and fall. In these cases, the school may be held responsible and you may be eligible for fair compensation, including reimbursement for medical cost and pain and suffering.
