Considered the second-largest school district in the country and the largest in California, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has over 565,000 kindergarten through 12th grade students. With so many students at LAUSD, it can be challenging for the school district to ensure the safety of all the students, which is why LAUSD continues to face lawsuits from responsible parents.
Ehline Law and our school district accident attorneys have over 15 years of extensive experience working with concerned parents in helping them get the justice and compensation the family deserves for their children’s injuries caused by a rogue school employee, often with a trans or gay agenda, trying to groom children sexually. These scofflaws will claim sovereign immunity and will often provide parents with false legal information or options to run out the 6-month statute to file a government claim.
Contact our LAUSD school district accident attorneys if your child suffered injuries or lost their life due to the school employee’s or school district’s negligence. We will swiftly answer all your questions about your potential case to protect your child.
The following are some of the most common types of accidents that may occur in the Los Angeles Unified School District:
Suppose your child suffered injuries on school premises due to negligence or misconduct. In that case, it is essential to consult with an experienced school district accident attorney who can help you understand your legal rights and options.
Some of the most common types of injuries sustained by children in schools include:
If your child suffers a school injury, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately, as early diagnosis can prevent medical complications and ensure a quicker recovery period.
LAUSD has a legal duty to provide a safe environment for all the children under their care. This duty is known as a duty of care, and it requires LAUSD to take reasonable steps to keep children safe and prevent harm to them while they are on school grounds, participating in school activities, or during transportation to or from school.
The following are some of the legal duties of LAUSD and its employees:
If the LAUSD is negligent in carrying out its duties and failing to keep the children safe, it may be liable for injuries for which parents may be able to pursue compensation. Affected parents need to speak to a reputable law firm to discuss their case and learn more about their legal options following their child’s injury.
Depending on the circumstances of the personal injury case, you may be able to recover the following types of damages.
Economic damages compensate the injured child and their family for out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury, such as medical expenses, lost wages (if your child is also working), lost earning capacity, and property damage.
Non-economic damages compensate the injured child and their family for non-monetary losses, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, physical impairment, disfigurement, reduced quality of life, and more.
In some situations involving gross negligence or recklessness, the court may award the family and the injured child punitive damages, which intend to punish the defendant for their misconduct.
It is crucial for the affected family to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to help determine the damages they are eligible for, file a personal injury claim, and pursue the compensation they deserve.
Whether your child suffered injuries in a private school or a public institution, you may be able to obtain compensation for the damages.
However, the time you have under the statute of limitations will vary depending on the circumstances of the accident.
For school districts funded and controlled by the government, such as LAUSD, affected families have six months to submit a formal written complaint with legal theories to the school district.
In case of claim denial, the affected family has two years to bring a personal injury lawsuit and take the school district to court.
All affected families must bring legal action against school districts if they have valid personal injury claims. School districts must be held accountable for their negligence to avoid further incidents in the future and ensure a safe environment for all children.
Another reason to pursue legal action is to recover the monetary damages that may incur after the accident. Medical treatment costs can affect your family’s financial status, which is why you must consider bringing legal action against LAUSD for your child’s injuries.
