Keeping your composure can help you take the first legal steps with clarity and confidence. Saavedra Law Firm’s Phoenix school accident attorney is here to support you as you begin this difficult process.
Filing a school accident claim isn’t the same as a standard personal injury case. Key differences include the timeline and the involved parties. If your child attends a public school, the injury claim falls under government liability laws, which typically require written notice to the school district within 180 days of the incident.
Additionally, understanding who can be held accountable is essential. Schools are often bound by laws that limit their liability, and you must prove negligence or misconduct on the school’s part. Private institutions follow different rules, which impact both how and when you can pursue a claim. At Saavedra Law Firm, we help parents assess the situation, identify responsible parties, and file timely claims to protect their children’s future.
