Re: diabetic insoline pump ripped out

That's reprehensible.

You definitely seem to have a claim against the school district for damages. The medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, etc., should be included. An attorney can draft the claim, and assuming it's a public school, the claim must be made to the district on the district's forms within 180 days of the incident. This is required by the CA Tort Claim Act.

You should contact a local attorney. If you cannot find one, call me and I'll refer you to a colleague in your area.

Good luck!
