When Your Child’s School Creates Dangerous Conditions
Minnesota law requires schools to take reasonable precautions to keep children safe, and you have a right to believe that they will uphold this duty. When school staff or administrators create dangerous conditions and your child is injured, you can seek compensation for the pain and suffering your child experienced, the medical bills you paid and even the wages you lost while helping your child recover.
