How is it the school's fault?? You have to prove that to have a case.
Re: Can you Sue A School District
Yes. Within the 1st six months you must file a governmental entity claim with the school district (form generally available from the same source). If the claim is denied, you then have the right to sue. Suit will require you to retain an attorney.
Re: Can you Sue A School District
Yes, if they did something wrong.
Remember, a valid and proper form/claim must be submitted within 6 months.

What Mr. Boyd says is true. But taking it one step further, what is your theory of the district's liability? That your daughter was peculiarly fragile and shouldn't have been made to throw a softball, especially if that's what she wants to pursue in college? I don't get it.
