White Plains Child Injury Lawyer

Certainly you expect a school to be a safe, well-supervised environment for your children. Teacher neglect and school accidents and assaults happen, however, and may entitle the victim to compensation.

At our White Plains, New York, personal injury law firm, we feel it is our job to help our clients and their families by handling insurance claims and lawsuits, while they put their lives back together. Attorney Daniel A. Kalish will be happy to take the time to evaluate your claim and explain your legal options. Contact our law office to make arrangements for a free consultation.

Daniel A. Kalish has 20 years of experience in helping victims of accidents and assaults recover compensation for their losses. He will help you put a fair value on your child’s medical expenses, pain, suffering, and emotional distress, and your lost income while you care for your child.

There are very short time limits for filing a Notice of Claim (necessary to make a claim under school law), so it is important that you take action as soon as possible. A child’s injury at school may stem from a number of situations:

• poor supervision that leads to a school fight
   
• dangerous conditions on school property causing a fall or other accident
   
• poor training and supervision in a gym/physical education class, where students are asked to perform dangerous drills
   
• dangerous products and practices that cause food poisoning or an allergic reaction
   
• failure to perform background checks, supervise, or train teachers or staff, resulting in a sexual assault, emotional abuse, or physical or verbal abuse

In a case of child injury, the lawyer must demonstrate that the school should have anticipated the danger and taken steps to avoid it. Contact Mr. Kalish if you have questions about the school’s responsibility. If we are not the best firm to handle your particular matter, he will be happy to refer you to a well-qualified colleague.

We serve victims of personal injury throughout New York’s 5 boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island), Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Peekskill, Dutchess, Putnam, and White Plains.
