Case: Kindergarten student received a broken arm
During supervised playtime, prior to school starting in the morning a kindergarten student received a broken arm when she fell 12 feet due to a broken step on the playground equipment. Can the teacher, school, or district be held liable for the student's injuries?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do believe that the school, teacher and county can be help liable for this injury. A child playing and getting hurt is one thing, but and injury due to broken equipment is not the child fault. The school and county should be aware of the situation and fix it as soon as possible. With something broken like that the school should not allow anyone on the equipment. The teachers should be aware of this as well to keep the students away to prevent injuries. |

Comments: I agree with this statement because the school should monitor areas that children play on or near. It is up to the teacher's responsibilities to report things that can be unsafe to the children. |
