School District Liability Los Angeles - LAUSD

July 10, 2007 12:05 AM

Los Angeles is home to the largest school district in the state of California and the second largest in the country. The Los Angeles Unified School District or LAUSD as it is often referred to had over 750,000 students enrolled within the district as of 2006.

In California, school district liability cases are based on the accountability that the school, its teachers, administrators and district directors owe to the students that attend. Injuries often occur on the schoolyard, school play yard, school grounds, playground, basketball courts, football fields, baseball fields, tennis courts, field trips, handball courts, graduation, during recess or at lunch time on the school grounds.

Field trips and any other school sponsored event off of the campus grounds may also be grounds for a school district liability claim.

There are many reasons that your child may be injured including: the negligent supervision of students, inadequate security for students, improper procedures and failure to take proper action.

Bullying is also commonality on many LAUSD campuses as well as fights and sexual harassment. When a teacher, principle or school administrator fails to take proper action to deter these serious occurrences, then a school district may be liable.

If you or your child has been injured at school, you may have a claim to recover for your damages. The LAUSD Los Angeles Unified School District may be liable for the damages. At the Law Offices of Slaughter & Slaughter we have the experience needed to seek the maximum compensation from the School District if your child has been injured.
