Q: If my son is injured during fifth grade gym class because another student wasn't following the rules, do I sue the kid's
parents or the school/gym teacher for inadeuately overseeing the class?
A: It depends on the specific circumstances surrounding your sons injuries. It may be all of the above depending on how the injuries occurred, or there may not be a valid cause of action against any of the parties. In any event, I would recommend organizing all information relevant to this situation, including medical records and reports, and consulting with an attorney individually. Many of us offer free consultations, and will represent you and your son on a contingent basis, so it will not cost you anything out of pocket to obtain the guidance and representation of an experienced professional.
