It would be necessary to get more information, but from what you did say, it is certainly possible to bring an action against the school, provided you can prove that they knew or should have known that something was legitimately wrong with the child.

We will certainly be glad to discuss this case with you to determine what, if anything, can be done to obtain a recovery for the loss of your child. If you would like additional information about this or related topics, you can visit my personal injury law blog (www.SCPILaw.com) or our firm's website (www.StevensFirm.com).

Thanks and good luck, Ben Stevens
