Teacher Negligence


Parents entrust the safety of their children with teachers and the schools they are enrolled in. School districts recognize this fact, and they, along with county and state governments, have made appropriate laws to ensure the children's safety and guidelines to follow in different situations. However, due to negligence, inexperience of the teachers, or inadequate care and inattentiveness, teachers may fail to effectively supervise students and maintain a safe learning environment.

If your child has been injured due to the negligence or apathy of a teacher, you have the right to seek compensatory damages for your child's suffering and pain. For a further analysis into your legal options, please contact an experienced teacher negligence lawyer.

Dangers at school

The following list provides a few of the risks that should not, but do exist in schools:

  • Fights on sports fields that are not stopped by coaches or trainers

  • Presence of dangerous chemicals in labs are especially risky when the teacher leaves them lying around

  • Wood shop injuries caused by inadequate supervision and training

  • Bullying and emotional abuse by other students

Children will always be children. They spend most of their time during the day in school, and our system of education will not change any time soon. So it is imperative that teachers are properly trained to break fights, control students, and provide proper care for all their students. When they fail to do this, innocent children may face devastating consequences. It is important that negligent and careless educators are held accountable for their inexcusable behavior.
