Legal Question in Personal Injury in Colorado

Re: Liability for a child's injury incurred at school

You write that your son was "playing" and that this injured child "was hit by my son's backpack" and that the resulting fall required seven stitches in the boy's head.

If the boy accidentally ran into your son's backpack, that's a curious way to put it. But, if so, he has no claim on you.

However, I'm guessing that you don't mean to say that some other boy hit the child with the backpack, or that the backpack was one of those they'll be writing a horror movie about. That narrows it down to your son hit the other kid with the backpack.

You ask a legal question which begs another type of question: what does it mean to take responsibility for an accident that results in harm to a young child?

I don't think the dad has a claim on your homeowner's insurance. He may have a claim on your soul.
