You could probably find an attorney to open a file and investigate a claim, but it is a tough case because the school is probably entitled to some immunities under the Tort Claims Act. Also, note that you have ninety days to file a notice of claim, so if you are going to pursue a case, you should contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.  You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state).  Personal injury attorneys take  cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts. If you are unable to find a lawyer who meets these qualifications within your state, sometimes you may contact an out of state lawyer who can refer you to a qualified attorney in your state while providing support related to the issues of medicine.
