Q: CAN WE SUE THE TEACHER AND SCHOOL FOR NEGLIGENCE
The teacher at my son's school explained that before the lesson he found a broken chair. He put it at the back of the class, with a note that says broken chair, He also told the learners about the char and told them they MUST stay away. did not listen and sat on the chair. He rode on the chai - the chair broke and he fell backward and sustained many injuries such as bruises and a fractured hand.
A:
I'm sorry for your son's accident. This could make for a tough case, given the measures the teacher took to warn the students. A state or region is not listed here, but you could reach to attorneys in your area to discuss in more detail. In these types of settings, jurors could take into consideration the age of the child. Best of luck to your son for a healthy recovery.
