Southlake is home to several well-regarded private schools that families choose for their academic excellence, values, and smaller class sizes. Parents trust these institutions to provide not only quality education, but also a safe and supportive setting for their children. When a child is injured at a private school, that trust can be shattered, leaving families confused, frustrated, and deeply concerned about their child’s well-being.
Bivona Law represents Southlake families whose children have been injured at private schools due to negligence, unsafe conditions, or lack of proper supervision. Drew Bivona understands the emotional weight these cases carry and works closely with parents to pursue accountability while prioritizing the child’s recovery and future.
Injuries at private schools often happen during everyday activities such as recess, physical education classes, sports practices, and school-sponsored events. While accidents can happen anywhere, many injuries are preventable and stem from failures in supervision, training, or facility maintenance. In some cases, schools may overlook known hazards or fail to enforce safety policies designed to protect students.
Classroom overcrowding, unsafe playground equipment, poorly maintained athletic fields, and a lack of supervision during transitions between classes can all increase the risk of injury. Bivona Law carefully examines the circumstances surrounding each incident to determine whether the school met its duty of care to students.
Children injured at private schools may suffer from broken bones, concussions, dental injuries, and sprains. Sports-related injuries are particularly common, especially when students are not properly trained or supervised. Head injuries are a major concern, as symptoms may not appear immediately and can have lasting effects on a child’s development.
Some injuries occur due to bullying or rough behavior that goes unaddressed by school staff. When warning signs are ignored and a child is harmed, schools may be held responsible for failing to intervene. Bivona Law recognizes that every injury affects a child differently and works to ensure that legal claims reflect the full scope of harm.
A school injury not only affects a child physically. Many children experience anxiety, fear, or reluctance to return to school after an injury. Missed class time, difficulty concentrating, and setbacks in academic progress are common, particularly for younger students.
Parents may also face difficult decisions about whether their child can safely return to the same school environment. Bivona Law understands these concerns and approaches each case with sensitivity, recognizing that a child’s emotional recovery is just as important as physical healing.
Private schools in Texas have a legal duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for their students. This includes maintaining safe facilities, properly supervising children, and responding appropriately to known risks. While private schools are not government entities, they are still accountable under Texas negligence laws when a child is injured due to their actions or inaction.
Bivona Law investigates whether a private school failed to meet its obligations by reviewing safety policies, staff training records, incident reports, and prior complaints. Drew Bivona’s experience allows him to identify when a school’s conduct crosses the line from an unavoidable accident to actionable negligence.
When a child is injured at a private school, parents are often notified after the fact, sometimes with limited details. Seeking prompt medical care is essential, even if the school downplays the injury. Medical documentation not only protects the child’s health but also provides critical evidence if legal action becomes necessary.
Parents should request a written incident report from the school and document any communication regarding the injury. Bivona Law advises parents not to sign waivers or accept settlements without legal guidance, as doing so may limit their ability to seek fair compensation later.
Private schools often carry liability insurance and may involve their insurers soon after an injury occurs. These insurance companies may attempt to resolve claims quickly, sometimes before the full extent of a child’s injuries is known. Parents may feel pressured to accept explanations or offers that do not reflect the seriousness of the situation.
Bivona Law takes over all communication with schools and insurance carriers, ensuring that Southlake families are treated fairly and respectfully. The firm works to uncover the truth behind what happened and to pursue compensation that accounts for both immediate and long-term needs.
Compensation in private school injury cases may cover medical expenses, future treatment, therapy, and the impact of the injury on a child’s education and quality of life. In some cases, families may also recover damages related to emotional distress or the cost of transferring to another school if the environment is no longer safe.
