More details to this question:
My son suffered a serious injury at school in the hands of an older student. A bully. He likes to push the smaller kids so that they fall. He pushed my son and the school wants to dismiss it as "just an accident" and take no action. In the mean time, I have to miss work and my poor kid has to be in a cast for upwards of 6 to 8 months. Should I sue them ?

Yes and you can also sue the bully's parents. If the bully's parents own a home and they were on notice of their sons violent tendencies, their homeowners insurance may be a potential source of recovery for your son's damages. The school also could face liability. Retain counsel in California.
