Education Expert Witness Services
School Liability Expert Group provides expert witness services for diverse range of cases and liability issues. When it comes to education litigation, often it is necessary to hire an expert witness to speak on the matter at hand. For example, in the case of bullying, the plaintiff must prove that the alleged actions were indeed bullying rather than just student conflict, that the school had a duty to prevent the bullying in the first place, and that the school failed in that duty. One of our experts could examine the school negligence and liability issues concerning the alleged bullying for the plaintiff or the defense attorney during the school liability litigation. An expert witness for the plaintiff or defendant would call upon our expertise in bullying as opposed to student conflict, as well as explain the professional standard of care in school environments that suggests a duty to prevent bullying.
If no bullying occurred or the school did everything possible to stop it, one of our expert witnesses could still assist in the education litigation. Generally, there are no school negligence and liability issues when the problem is merely a conflict among students, such as an argument regarding one’s favorite football player. Conflict does not create a hostile school environment for the alleged victim although it still may require proper action and interventions by the school or agency to ensure that conflict does not turn into bullying or other forms of unlawful harassment. Repeated instances of demeaning behavior– especially when the actions target a member of a protected class, such as gender, sexual orientation, race, disability, or religion– do foster a hostile learning environment and can result in discrimination. During school liability litigation, an education expert witness could speak to whether the alleged actions rose to the level of school bullying or otherwise harassing or discriminatory conduct. Additionally, one of our witnesses could attest to whether or not the school met the professional standard of care before the school negligence and liability issues that are up for debate in education litigation.
