Can I file a personal injury lawsuit against the school district for neglet?

Each state has its own laws and some grant school districts immunity - other states have laws relating to assumption of the risk when engaged in sporting events. You need to speak directly to a licensed lawyer who handles these matters in the state in which this matter occurred. A competent lawyer who handles these types of matters will be able to answer your questions and should not charge you anything - these types of cases are generally taken on a contingency basis.

I suggest that you contact a personal injury attorney in your area regarding your son's injuries. Generally personal injury attorneys will offer a free consultation. I suggest you take advantage of this service.

You need to speak with a Texas personal injury attorney. Sometimes, personal injury claims against school districts/schools, which are government entities, are barred because of a defense known as government immmunity.

Each case is different and depends on the accident facts.

In Texas, the school districts are normally immune, unless there is an allegation of negligent operation of a motor vehicle (which obviously does not apply here). However, there are often private contractors who are responsible for the custodial care of the facility, and they may be responsible for picking up water like that.
