Types of School Injury Claims

Within a school environment, there are many different ways that a child could sustain a serious injury. Looking at school injury statistics in elementary school, one study found that 80% of the students went to see the school nurse at least once in a given year. The most common school injuries that are reported include:

  • Playground Injuries
  • Injuries on the School Bus
  • Injuries from Physical Education Class
  • Injuries from Sexual Abuse
  • Injuries as a Result of Teacher Negligence
  • Injuries as a Result of School District Negligence
  • School Crossing Injuries
  • Classroom Injuries
  • School Shootings

Although the majority of school injuries are unintentional and completely accidental, there are also a high number of accidents that could have been avoided. If your child was injured at school due to legal negligence such as faulty school equipment, lack of supervision or faculty abuse, you could have grounds for a lawsuit.
