Practical Guidance Regarding Injuries At Schools And Playgrounds

Children of all ages spend a large part of their day at school. While at school, parents have the right to expect their child will be in a safe atmosphere. When a child is injured at school or on the playground, parents have the right to answers. A law firm staffed with experienced, skilled attorneys can make a great deal of difference in the way a case is resolved.

From our office in Manhattan, we at Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., are devoted advocates for children and their families across New York City. If your child has been injured on school grounds, we are prepared to step in and help your family recover the money damages to which you are entitled.

Accidents at schools and playgrounds can lead to any number of injuries such as:

Head injuries and brain damage
Spinal cord injuries
Broken bones
Soft tissue injuries

In the most serious cases, these injuries can change your child’s life forever. It is vital that your lawyer is able to present evidence that will establish just how much money your child will need now and in the future.

At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C., our law firm will work diligently to prove every part of your child’s case. We work with experts in a number of fields when necessary to develop your child’s lawsuit.

Our Accident Injury Lawyers Can Act Quickly And Effectively In These Cases

In order to bring a lawsuit against a public school, it is important to take immediate action. Before you can even bring a lawsuit against a municipal entity, such as a school or park, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days. There are other procedural differences involved that can potentially impact your case.

Our attorneys understand these issues and will act proactively and decisively to present the strongest possible case. Of course, we can also help with claims involving private schools and recreational facilities.
