Is it feasable to assume the school should be held liable for injuries incurred during a summer football practice (while inside of locker room) ?

Answered 13 years and 8 months ago by John Joseph Ratkowitz, Esq. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Most states enacted anti-bullying statutes in the wake of the Columbine tragedy, which require specific actions to be taken when a child is assaulted in school, including an investigation into the incident, specific discipline and the like. Most schools publish their policies online, so check out the school website.  You can sue a school for negligent supervision or negligent security, but you have to be in a position to prove that the fight was foreseeable. The cavalier attitude taken by the coaching staff after the altercation suggests that it might have been.  You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state).  Personal injury attorneys work on a contingent fee basis, which means they only get paid out of the proceeds of the lawsuit if you win. They provide free initial consultations. Sometimes an attorney will ask you to pay a "retainer" to cover the some of the expenses of a case, this is an issue that varies from office to office. Beyond this, you should write the school principal and the local school board to complain about how this was handled. Talk to a lawyer first, who might assist you in preparing a letter. Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
