School and Day Care Accidents

Serious physical or emotional injuries can lead to significant life-altering impacts on your child. Injuries sometimes occur because of negligent supervision from teachers, failure to follow proper rules and procedures, excessive force used by adults, and/or failures to follow licensing, registering or hiring regulations.

Our attorneys are familiar with pursuing just compensation and recovery for a host of injuries, including bullying issues, assault, sexual abuse, child abuse, slip-and-falls, trip-and-falls, hazardous play areas, poisonous substances, swimming pool accidents, choking hazards, electrical injuries, food poisoning, defective products or toys, and more.

At Rovegno Law, PC, our lawyers compassionately represent parents and their children who have been injured in negligent or careless acts on school or day care premises, or during school-sponsored activities.

Timing is a key issue in injury claims against the New York State Department of Education, the New York City Department of Education, and most municipal school districts including Union Free school districts on Long Island. In most cases, a claim must be filed within ninety (90) days and a suit must be filed within one year or one year and ninety days following injury depending upon the municipality involved.

Our attorneys will help you understand the legal process and your options in a FREE initial consultation. We will take the time to fully understand the facts of your case and thoroughly investigate the events that led to your child’s injury. We will obtain witness testimony and physical evidence, and we will work with expert investigators to build a solid case for the compensation you and your child deserve.

We are a detail and result oriented law firm. Our assistance in properly filing your injury claim and working for settlement is invaluable. We develop your case based on facts and from the beginning, we will prepare your case for your full compensation through settlement or trial, if necessary.
