Our young client had his fingers smashed in a door while at school, resulting in stitches to the two finger tips. The school district blamed our child client for putting his fingers in the door jam and fought our office at every step of the way. The case went to a jury trial in Lancaster California. The final judgment was nearly $300,000, which was significantly more money than the school district ever offered. Rather than do the right thing at the outset, the school district spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on their defense team and experts to fight this child. This case was about more than money for our client, it was about the school district taking responsibility for the children who are injured while on their watch. It took nearly six years to get the school district to admit they were at fault and that they were wrong.
