Physical and emotional harm in schools often comes down to one word: supervision. Whether it’s bullying, physical assault, or preventable incidents during recess or dismissal, schools are responsible for maintaining a safe environment. 

In Alabama, schools and their staff have a duty of care to prevent foreseeable harm. If they knew (or should have known) that a student was at risk and failed to act, they may be liable for the result. 

These cases are complex and emotionally charged. At HGD, we handle them with care, confidentiality, and a fierce commitment to justice. 

If your child has suffered due to a school’s inaction, we’ll stand by your side and help you explore legal options. You deserve accountability. Your child deserves protection.
