Can I sue the school district for a personal injury and negligence?

You can sue the school district. However, your chances of winning depend on whether or not the school district did anything wrong (i.e. were they negligent, did they fail to supervise, etc.).

Based on the limited information you provided, I have no idea if you have a case or not.

Anytime you are dealing with a public entity like a school district, you may have to submit a government code claim within certain time periods, some as short as 6 months. You then have a certain amount of time to file suit after the claim is submitted or rejected.

You need to contact a lawyer immediately, preferably one with experience suing school districts.

Best of luck to you.

Your case against the school district my be valid if the school teacher and / or staff were aware a problem existed and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent this sort of thing from happening. There are strict time requirements for suing a governmental entity. You should consult with a lawyer right away.

It is possible that you have a case, but you need to talk more extensively with a personal injury lawyer in your area before you proceed. There are very strict time requirements for filing against a school district. These time requirements require the assistance of an attorney and need to be addressed very early on in the case. Good Luck!.
