In Florida, if your child was injured in a school fight, you might have options for seeking compensation, depending on the circumstances of the incident. Your experienced Goldman Daszkal personal injury attorney can help you get the compensation you deserve for your child’s medical bills, the wages you lost taking your child to the doctor, personal property damage, and much more.
Here are a few potential avenues you could explore:
Personal Injury Lawsuit: If it can be demonstrated that another student or party was negligent or intentionally caused harm to your child, you can file a personal injury lawsuit. To succeed in such a case, you would generally need to show that the other party owed a duty of care to your child, breached that duty, and as a result, your child suffered harm.
Negligence Claims: To establish a negligence claim, you must prove that the school or its staff acted negligently and that this negligence led to your child’s injuries. This might involve demonstrating that the school failed to adequately supervise students, failed to prevent foreseeable fights, or did not take appropriate measures to maintain a safe environment.
Premises Liability: Schools have a duty to provide a safe environment for students. If the school’s premises were not properly maintained or if security measures were insufficient, you could pursue a premises liability claim against the school.
Assault and Battery Claims: If another student intentionally harmed your child, you might be able to pursue an assault and battery claim against the responsible party. This would require proving that the other student’s actions were intentional and resulted in harm to your child.
School District Liability: In certain cases, you can hold the school district responsible for your child’s injuries if it can be demonstrated that there were systemic failures in safety protocols, staff training, or other aspects that contributed to the incident.
Insurance Claims: If the school has liability insurance, you can file a claim with their insurance company to seek compensation for your child’s injuries. Insurance coverage might vary, so it’s important to understand the policy terms.
