When you send your child to school, you are placing the trust of your child’s safety in the hands of the teachers, administrators, and other adults at the school.
When these authority figures are negligent, children can be put at risk of potentially life-altering injuries. There are several factors to think about when you are thinking about bringing a lawsuit to your child’s school.
These include whether the school is private or public, and who was responsible for the injury. If your child was injured in a New York public school, you have 90 days to file a Notice of Claim with a government agency.
This notice alerts the government to the injury and gives the school a chance to respond. If the notice is rejected, you may proceed to file a lawsuit in civil courts.
