Re: Personal Injury Torts question

You could bring the matter to the attention of the school authorities and request reimbursement for the child's medical expenses.

If they refuse to provide any such reimbursement, you could then file a claim for your damages against the school and their employee in small claims court.(The general district court will have the forms.)
