Can schools be liable for injuries that happen during field trips?

Yes, in some circumstances. Schools have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to protect students during school-sponsored activities, including field trips. While not every accident results in legal liability, a school may be responsible if negligence contributed to a student's injury.

Examples may include:

  • Inadequate supervision
  • Unsafe transportation
  • Dangerous conditions at the activity
  • Failure to follow safety procedures
  • Negligent planning or organization

Because many public schools are protected by governmental immunity in certain situations, these cases can be more complicated than other personal injury claims. An experienced attorney can evaluate the facts and determine whether an exception may apply.
