Re: A injuriedchild

there are several factors to consider. such as, what was the child doing at the time, how old the child is, and several other questions i would have for you... However, you very well may have a case against atleast the school, perhaps even more. Please feel free to contact my office at 2127098303 for further discussion of this, or any other, matter.

How old is the child and how did the leg break? There is a need for supervision and then there is the issue of safety of equiptment. Chances are that the school is at least partially responsible.

If you would like to discuss this further, I would be glad to do so with you at length. Please follow the links below to reach me.

Good Luck, I hope he feels better soon.

There are guidelines for schools regarding how many teachers/aides need to be supervising children. The school may be responsible. Also, depending on how and where he fell, a claim may lie against the manufacturer/installer of playground equipment he may have been using. Please feel free to call me at 2129725252 to discuss further.

More information is needed regarding this incident, but a school can be held liable for improper and inadequate supervision. It is important to note that if you are dealing with a public school, there are very strict time limits for filing a Notice of Claim to preserve your rights to file a lawsuit. I would be happy to speak with you further about this and to discuss all of your options. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience.

More information is needed in terms of how the accident happened. Please keep in mind that if it was a public school, a Notice of Claim must be properly served within 90 days of the accident. This is the type of case my law office handles. I would be happy to discuss this further, at no charge of course.
