It depends on the circumstances. Please give me more details. I await your reply
Re: Son injured in School
In order for the school to be liable you must show that they were negligent and that their negligence was the cause of the injury. Essentially there is no liability were an accident occurs. You should speak with an attorney to determine whether you have a case.
Re: Son injured in School
You don't mention how your son's accident occurred. The school may be responsible if their negligence was a precipitating cause ie. if their was inadequate supervision for example.
If another student precipated the accident, his family's homeowner's insurance may provide some benefits.
If your son was the cause of his own injuries he may not be able to recover damages...
