School Accidents

We like to believe our children are safe when they're at school. Given the number of parents who seek help from the lawyers at Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman, we know children encounter many dangers in their classrooms, playgrounds, and other school facilities.

Children can get hurt in the gym or on the playground when they are allowed to do things not appropriate for their age or skill level. School accidents can also occur when teachers and staff don't properly supervise kids who are engaged in woodworking, science experiments, or other potentially dangerous activities. School bus accidents frequently occur because of poor supervision and negligent operation. Then there are those kids, known by school personnel to be violent, who take out their aggressions on other children, sometimes with dangerous weapons that should not be permitted in a school building.

If your child is injured at school, you should contact us to investigate the incident. It's important to act quickly, because you may have only 90 days to file a claim for compensation. Our lawyers have successfully handled many lawsuits involving children who have sustained serious injuries at school.
