As an adult can you sue your adoptive parents for extreme sexual and emotional abuse?

Answered by attorney David W. Craig
Personal Injury lawyer at Craig, Kelley and Faultless LLC
Certainly there are criminal and civil ramifications from your adopted mother. You should notify both the criminal authorities as well as a civil attorney. There are many hurdles in making these type of claims and you would need to discuss these in detail with an attorney experienced in handling these type of cases. There can be statute of limitations issues as well as insurance coverage issues. But until you actually meet an attorney you won't know whether your claim is worth pursuing or not.

My son was hit in the head by a lock from a passing school bus. Can I not only sue the kid that did it but also, the school for lack of supervision?

Answered by attorney Geoffrey Scott Binney
Personal Injury lawyer at Gauntt Koen Binney Kidd, LLP
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.
