Ottawa Accidents - Children and Injuries in Schools - Ottawa Accident Lawyers

Schools have a significant legal duty to take care to avoid your child having an accident at school. Children are expected to be inquisitive, curious and engage in many activities in school. Children are not fully aware of all the different dangers associated with many of the activities they may be asked to participate in at school. Children are not always able to take proper care of their own safety and the law recognizes that schools must take care to protect children. Schools must take preventative steps to maintain the schools safe from all dangers and must take steps to ensure the safety of all children under their care at all times. The younger your child the more precautions should be taken by the school.

Children may be injured in school using equipment, fall on school grounds, trip and fall at school, be assaulted, be bullied, suffer injuries due to an accident on the bus or school grounds or during a field trip. In many cases, the injuries could have been avoided with proper supervision or preventative steps.
