It may be helpful to contact an attorney when:  

• You have repeatedly notified the school that your child is being bullied

• The school hasn’t taken sufficient action to stop the bullying 

• The bullying of your child is severe and ongoing

• Your child is suffering serious effects from the bullying

Lawsuits against school districts that fail to protect children from bullying play a very important role in curbing bullying, but they are a solution of last resort—when efforts to get schools to act appropriately have failed.

If you are thinking about filing a lawsuit to protect your child, please feel free to contact Public Justice for legal assistance.  Call 202-797-8600 or e-mail us at [email protected].

Even if Public Justice can’t assist you, we may be able to help you find a local attorney who can.  If you already have an attorney, we may able to assist the attorney with your case.
