School Injuries

Parents entrust their children with teachers and supervisors for many hours a day. In schools it is the responsibility of these adults to protect the health and well-being of their students. The failure to ensure that children are not subjected to unnecessary physical injury may result in legal action against the negligent school personnel.

If your child has been injured at their school because of the negligence of a caretaker, you may be eligible for financial compensation for their medical expenses and suffering. Contact the Harrisburg school injury attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511 to discuss your case with a qualified lawyer today.

Causes of Injuries at School

There are many ways that an adult in charge can exhibit negligence in a school and compromise the danger of students. These include:

  • Poor security
  • Negligent hiring practices
  • Lack of supervision in the classroom
  • Inadequate supervision on the playground
  • Accidents involving buses
  • Injuries that occur during sporting events
  • Failure to stop physical altercations between students
  • Inadequate maintenance or safety precautions

No matter what the cause of the accident, children should not be subjected to physical injury because of the careless behavior of a teacher, supervisor, or coach.
