Public School Indemnity
My 6 year old child broke her arm at school while playing on the playground. She was in a lot of pain and very upset. Instead of calling 911 for an ambulance to transport her to the hospital, they allowed her to sit in the nurse’s office for 3 hours before I received a phone call about the incident. I immediately took off work and picked her up from school and took her to the hospital where we found out she had a broken arm. The school states that they are not allowed to call and arrange medical transportation even in an emergency without getting the parent’s permission first to see what they would like to do. I have talked to a few attorney’s about filing a lawsuit against the school for their negligence. So, far all the attorneys I have spoken to are telling me that I can’t sue the school because the have governed immunity. Are Public schools in Texas immune from being sued?
