Negligent Teacher
Though it may become slightly less difficult as a child gets older, from the first day of kindergarten until the last day of high school a parent must entrust the welfare of his or her child to teachers and school personnel for most of each weekday. This is a significant responsibility and there are many laws and regulations in place to promote a safe educational environment. When teachers fail to adequately supervise the actions and behaviors of the students in their care, the consequences can be devastating as serious injuries and other possible harms become likely.
If your child has suffered an injury as a result of such a lapse, then it may be both necessary and appropriate to consider filing a civil lawsuit against the teacher who has failed your child. A legal action can gain the financial compensation that is needed to address medical care and other damages.

Examples of Teacher Negligence
Many teachers are faced with more students than they can effectively manage, and this creates a recipe for disaster if they are not lending their full attention to the students in their care. Dangerous examples of teacher negligence include:
- Failure to notice physical and emotional bullying
- Failure to intervene in fights
- Failure to put a halt to rough play
- Speaking with other teachers or on a cell phone instead of paying attention to students
- Improper supervision on field trips
