Does your child attend a negligent daycare, school, or camp near St. Petersburg, FL?
Keeping pupils safe in schools, preschool and daycare programs, on playgrounds, as well as in other theoretically supervised situations is a primary responsibility of those who administer these types of programs. When a child is injured in a negligent daycare or school situation, the negligent agency will have a greater chance of prevailing when it has very clear and readily available policies which they strictly enforce. In many school premises liability lawsuits plaintiffs are more likely to prevail when the facility in question fails to maintain its campus and/or equipment, does not have a regular (and documented) inspection plan, and does not instruct and supervise students in the safe and appropriate use of equipment. The greatest deterrent to litigation with respect to premises and equipment liability is to keep the building and grounds free of hazards. School administrators must be sure to maintain the grounds and equipment on a regular basis, and ensure that that equipment is safe and properly installed, used, and maintained.
