When a bullied student is injured, experiences emotional distress, or engages in self-harm or suicide, it is typical for litigation requiring an education expert witness to be brought against the school. In these cases, the plaintiff’s we represent must prove there was a duty by the school to prevent the bullying, and the school failed in that duty. Conversely, the defendants we represent must show they are not at fault. School Liability Expert Group can review the alleged interactions to provide an education expert witness to reveal whether the alleged actions were, or were not, bullying and whether these actions should be dealt with, or should not be, under the student code of conduct.
