For the school to be responsible for your daughter's injuries the school's, or its employees, must have caused your daughter's injuries. Negligence is usually defined as: "doing something that a reasonably careful person would not do under similar circumstances, or failing to do something that a reasonably careful person would do under similar circumstances." Without knowing more about how your daughter was injured, and what the school should or should not have done that could have prevented her injury, I cannot comment on whether you have a case against your daughter's school. Be advised that there are special requirements for suing a public school and the time limits are different than if you are suing a private school. The claim against the school would be governed by the Nebraska Political Subdivisions Tort Claim Act. Under the Act, a "Tort Claim" must be filed within one (1) year of the incident with the appropriate person. This Tort Claim and the other requirements of the Act are somewhat complex. If you are considering suing the school I would strongly recommend consulting with an attorney to learn more about your rights, options and about the requirements of the Political Subdivisions Tort Claim Act.
