When Your Child Gets Hurt at School, You Deserve Answers — and Support.
As a parent, you trust your child’s school to be a safe place — a place where they can learn, grow, and thrive. So when your child gets injured at school, it can feel like the ground has shifted beneath you. Who’s responsible? What should you do next? And how can you make sure this never happens again?
At the Jessica Corley Law Firm, we help parents across South Carolina navigate the emotional and legal challenges of school-related injuries. Because when your child is hurt, you need more than just legal advice — you need a partner who listens and protects what matters most.
Common School Injury Situations We Handle
School injuries can happen in a variety of ways — and not all of them are “just accidents.” Some may be caused by negligence, unsafe conditions, or even improper supervision.
We handle cases involving:
Playground injuries due to unsafe equipment or lack of supervision
School bus accidents
Slip and fall incidents on school property
Injuries during gym, sports, or field trips
Fights or bullying incidents where staff failed to intervene
Accidents caused by untrained or careless staff
Exposure to unsafe facilities (broken stairs, mold, unsafe classrooms)
Special needs students who were not properly protected
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties could be legally accountable, including:
The school district
Individual teachers or staff
School bus drivers or transportation companies
Private contractors or after-school program providers
Equipment manufacturers (in product-related injury cases)
Public schools are protected under certain government immunity laws, but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless. We understand how to navigate these laws and pursue justice when a school fails in its duty of care.
What You Should Do If Your Child Is Injured at School
Seek medical attention immediately — even if the injury seems minor
Document everything: take photos, keep school incident reports, get witness statements if possible
Avoid making recorded statements to school representatives or insurers
