To answer if there is actually a Personal Injuryy claim in this situation; you must provide more information.
How did the school bully your child? How are they responsible for the bullying? Did they have reason to know of the bullying? Where reasonable steps taken to inform the school the bullying was occurring?
For such an institution to be responsible in a Personal Injury claim their knowledge and response must be determined first.
I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where I practice. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
