My daughter broke her arm at school on there equipment on playground. should they be responsible for medical bills?

Legally yes. Getting them to admit liability is almost impossible, You can start by making a demand on the school board. Expect a lot of weaving and dodging even with a lawyer. On my profile there are several legal guides. I recommend reviewing the following which may be helpful to you: Hiring a lawyer; Is it Legal? Is it Illegal?...Understanding the different court systems; Introduction to Legal terms used in litigation; Limitations on a Lawyer’s License: What a Lawyer Can and Cannot Do……………………………..…………………………..

Generally a school would be responsible for her medical bills only if you can show that the school was somehow negligent, perhaps in the way they maintained or installed equipment etc. There also might be allegations of negligent supervision of your daughter while on the playground etc. If you are only interested in having her medical bills paid and are not interested in pursuing a full-blown claim with all its attendant elements of damages, you should find out if the school's general liability insurance policy has a medical payments clause. Medical payments coverage can pay for your daughter's medical bills up the limit of coverage, regardless of fault. Legal Disclaimer: Mr. Lundeen is licensed to practice law in Florida and Vermont.
