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.

If you had a contract for the sale of the horse and she has already begun to make the payments..she is technically the owner and you a lien-holder until the amount is paid in full. I would think of it like a car sale, with which I am sure you are familiar. The dealer who sells and finances the car for you is not liable if the owner gets into an accident and neither should you. If she tries to get out of the contract, you may be able to sue her for breach of contract, unless she can show that you misrepresented something about the horse and she relied on the misrepresentation to enter into the contract.

ou need to consult a workers' compensation attorney. Generally speaking, an injury at work is only compensable through workers' compensation.
