Legal Question in Civil Litigation in North Carolina

Was your child hurt? Did he or she have medical expenses? Did the coaches of the team see the incident? What if anything is the school willing to do here to protect your child from future incidents?

The way I see it - your plan of attack is two-fold. One is that you need to talk to the school about this matter. They may suspend the other student or take disciplinary action. If your child has no real damages, then this is the direction which you should probably go. What, if anything, is the likelihood of retaliation against your child? If great, you might want to think about pulling your child out of that school.

If your child has medical expenses (like a broken bone) then you should contact the parents of the other teen and see if they will reimburse you for the medical expenses. If they are just as ugly as their teen, then you will have no choice but to sue the other teen and his parents. In which case you should seek out a personal injury attorney.
