Injuries at schools & colleges claims
A school or college and its classrooms, playing fields and halls should be safe environments. However, should an accident happen on a school or college’s premises, our personal injury solicitors can provide expert legal advice.
Some examples of compensation claims from schools and colleges can arise from:
- Trips or falls caused by poorly maintained floors, playgrounds or sports areas.
- Dangerous or defective equipment and fittings (for example poorly maintained chairs, desks or doorways).
- Failing to grit walkways during icy weather.
- Inadequately supervised activities (such as science experiments or sporting events).
- Failure to adequately supervise students.
Should you or a loved one suffer an injury whilst attending or working at a school or college we can help you get the compensation you deserve.
