Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

negligence

My child was playing on school grounds with no teacher present. He was attempting a slam dunk with the help of a friend and cut his hand really bad on the rim, which has shape metal pieces on it. Can the school or his friend be held liable for negligence? Who is responsible?

The school has clear liability for this incident. The big issue here is how extensive your son's injuries are. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.

If you brought the case to my law office, the first thing i would do is send an investigator to the school, to document the dangerous condition that caused the injury. This is CRUCIAL. If this is not done, you will lose the case.

Next, I'd make sure your son saw the best pediatric hand specialist available. Every dollar that's not spent giving your son necessary treatment, is like a dollar given directly to the defendant's pockets, rewarding them for their negligence.

Yes, the school must provide supervision and safety to its pupil. I don't see any liability on the friend.
