Re: fall at school
A case against who? Kids fall and have accidents all the time. That alone is not a basis for a lawsuit. Did you instruct the school that your child is not to participate in these activities? ADD or ADHD, to the extent they exist, is not, alone, a reason to deny recreational activities and if it was, it is likely a joint parent/school decision. Did the ADHD cause him to fall? With respect to how the arm was treated, again, it is a painful injury and process. I know from experience. Some pain is reflective of the healing process and the mere fact that it is a broken bone. Setting the bone is not pleasant, and the fact that the exerience was painful is not grounds for a lawsuit. We can't second guess the medical staff. You'll have to see a personal injury lawyer, and get an independent medical opinion if there is more to the story.
