Michigan city scape in grey
Marko Law Firm

Can schools be liable for failing to prevent student assaults?

They can be, depending on what the school knew and how it responded.

If a school had warning signs such as:

  • Prior threats
  • Known conflicts between students
  • A history of violence

and failed to act, liability may arise.

Schools are not expected to predict every incident. But they are expected to take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm.
