School injury help needed
in Health ·
A few days ago during PE class, we were doing high jumps. I somehow landed all wrong and ended up breaking my leg. At first, I honestly thought it was just a bad sprain, but since the pain was unbearable and the swelling wouldn't go down, I went to get an X-ray... and sure enough, it showed a break.
Diagnosis: Fracture of the medial malleolus of the left ankle.
What I’m wondering now is whether I have any right to claim compensation if I don't have coverage through the school via an insurance provider like State Farm?
I was reading some things online suggesting that I could potentially seek damages from the entity that established the school—the local municipality—but the principal is insisting that doing so would essentially mean filing a lawsuit against the school and him personally. Is there any truth to that?
Thanks in advance!
