A: The liability of the school district depends upon whether or not they were negligent and if their negligence caused the injuries. In evaluating the matter, you would need to evaluate whether or not the jungle gym was appropriate for a child of your daughter's age and if she was being properly supervised. I think the potential recovery in the lawsuit may not be sufficient to justify the costs involved unless your daughter's injury is permanent.
