Cold winter storms have brought extreme outdoor conditions.  If not taken care of, the roads, sidewalks, and playgrounds can be very hazardous and lead to injury.  After enjoying a snow day, your children are back in school and playing outside during recess. 

The manager of the school's property is responsible for making sure the conditions are safe for students.  If your child was injured on school grounds, it's important you know your legal rights.  If you suspect that negligence played a role in your child's injury, it is imperative that you speak to an attorney immediately. 

Such negligence can be categorized as maintenance failures or negligent supervision.  Maintenance failures include failing to clean up a spill, causing a child to slip and fall or failing to fix broken equipment, inside or out. Negligent supervision occurs when a child is left in a vulnerable situation due to lack of supervision and can include physical and sexual assault.
