My son was hit in the head by a lock from a passing school bus. Can I not only sue the kid that did it but also, the school for lack of supervision?

Answered by attorney Geoffrey Scott Binney
Personal Injury lawyer at Gauntt Koen Binney Kidd, LLP
Lawsuits against governmental entities, including schools, are difficult, because governmental units are generally immune from lawsuits, with limited exceptions.  In a case like this, in order to be successful, you would have to prove that the injury 'arose from' the use of a motor vehicle - in this case, the bus.  As you can imagine, there have been many injuries that have occurred in and around school busses, for a number of different reasons.  In a case like this where the bus actually was in operation, the central inquiry is whether the injury occurred as a result of the bus's use or whether it occurred as a result of lack of supervision of the driver.  From the facts you presented, it appears the injury occurred due to   the bus driver's lack of supervision of the students, rather than an improper of negligent driving of the bus.  I do not think that you will be able to hold the school distyrict liable for this injury.  You would however, have a claim against the child that threw the lock.

Is it legal for me to take the money and pay my own medical bill?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
It is you medical bill and you can pay it. If you are asking for an advance on your settlement that is another matter. You are probably messing up the paperwork which caused the reaction but, if for any reason you do not fully trust your attorney, seek a second opinion.

If I have a major medical issue without insurance and am willing to make small monthly payments, can they seize my house?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gary Lee Platt (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Gary Lee Platt
By "they" I am assuming you mean the hospital or doctor or other provider of medical services. They cannot merely seize your house. They can file a lawsuit against you and, if they win, they can place a lien on your house and might be able to force you to sell your house to satisfy the lien. However, there are a number of legal things you can do to prevent this from happening, and in order to properly defend yourself you need to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
