My sons leg was broken by another student

Answered 3 years ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
Yes, if the student was habitually doing this to other students, then the school had constructive notice, if not actual notice, of this dangerous problem. A lawsuit could be maintained against the school and possibly the parents of the student for their neglect. There are shorter statutes of limitations when you sue a sovereign entity, so you should retain counsel here in Florida for contingency-fee representation, which means you don't pay anything, unless you win.    Stephen Black, Esq.

Is it Illegal for a teacher to call out a student (without naming them) in a classroom setting?

Answered 10 years and 3 months ago by attorney Richard Alex Asselta   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
What your Professor did more likely than not did not rise to a crime. Could  there be some civil liability? Possibly but I would think the conduct would need to have been more "outrageous." What he did do could have been a violation of FERPA. That is a student privacy law. However, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that a private person cannot sue under FERPA. If your friend is truly bothered by what happened she should speak to the department chair. ... Read More

How can I sue my baby's kindergarten?

Answered 10 years and 4 months ago by attorney Richard Alex Asselta   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
Your question is not very clear. First, you need a reason to sue someone. It is hard to understand why you want to sue from your question. Did you work there and feel that you were unjustly terminated? Do you have evidence that the school is doing something wrong and potentially harming children? Remember, private schools have more leeway than public schools.... Read More

How do I go about suing an online college

Answered 10 years and 4 months ago by attorney Richard Alex Asselta   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
You very well may have grounds to file a lawsuit. The process, however, can be difficult if you have never done it before.

Can I sue for bad education?

Answered 10 years and 4 months ago by attorney Richard Alex Asselta   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Education
Without looking at the contract, it is difficult to fully answer your queston. That said, if you did not actively do anything to work a deal then the real estate class company can argue that your inaction was the actual reason why you did not succeed. There is, however, a good chance that a strongly worded letter from an education attorney might get at least some of your money back. ... Read More
