Types of Accidents at School

As much as we would all like to believe that schools are a safe place for our children, there are many different types of accidents that can happen on these properties. Schools are comprised of a number of different facets, from classrooms to gyms to playgrounds, and more. Each of these unique environments provides opportunities for an accident to happen if negligence is a factor. At Rubenstein, Berliner & Shinrod, LLC, we have proudly helped children and their families find peace and justice after being injured at school. Some of the many types of school liability accidents we have handled include the following:

  • Injuries that occur during recreational activities like school sports, gym class, recess, playing on the playground, etc.
  • Premises liability issues, like slip and fall accidents, unsafe playground equipment, etc.
  • Claims for intentional injuries if another student or staff member assaulted a child
  • School bus accidents and injuries
  • Defective classroom furniture
  • Food poisoning from the school cafeteria

Limitations for School Liability Cases

If your child was injured at school, you must not hesitate to consider your legal options. Public schools are government entities, which come with an added layer of complication when taking legal action. To sue a government entity, you must file a Notice of Claim, which is often a much shorter deadline than the traditional 2-year statute of limitations associated with personal injury claims in New Jersey. If you fail to file a Notice of Claim, you will most likely be unable to take legal action against your child’s public school. That is why, for your child’s sake, you should reach out to our firm today to learn more about the deadlines that may apply to your situation.
