Representing Victims of Harassment, Intimidation and Abuse
A child should never be afraid to go to school because of a bully. Schools should provide a safe learning environment for every student and should not tolerate violence of any kind by a student.
At Joseph L. White & Associates, we hold schools accountable when they fail to take action against a bully or violent student. Contact our Louisville attorneys for help bringing an action against the administration for your child's injuries. No child should be put through this horrible ordeal and we will work together to prevent this from happening again in the future.
Do You Suspect Your Child is Being Abused?
In addition to the physical injuries from abuse, there is also a psychological component to abuse. Your child may be afraid to tell you about his or her injuries. They may be intimidated by teachers, scared of retaliation or blame themselves for the attacks.
It is important to remember that it is not your child's fault and it is not your fault. Your child has a right to attend school without the threat of violence or harassment. His or her school should do everything in their power to keep your child safe.
Our personal injury attorneys help clients who are abused in a broad range of situations, including:
- Disabled students who are abused or bullied
- Homosexual, transsexual, lesbian and gay students who are harassed by their peers
- Students who are sexually molested by teachers or other students
- Children facing cyber harassment, such as threats on Facebook or by text
Helping You Hold the School Accountable
Whether your child was violently attacked by a bully or sexually abused by a predator, our lawyers can help you hold the school accountable. We pursue compensation from administrators and teachers who failed to enforce school policies and protect their students.
Often schools knew of a student's violent behavior. Joe White, the founding attorney of our firm, is representing a client who had his arm broken by a bully who had an extensive history of violence. If the school had taken proper precautions, our clients' injury could have been prevented.
If your child has been injured, our attorneys can help them seek long-term care solutions and medical treatment. If the fear of returning to class is too much, we can work with you to get your child transferred to a new school or classroom.
