Student Abuse

Fellow Student Abuse

Fellow Student Abuse

If you were sexually abused at school, you may have the right to sue the person who abused you and the school. If a fellow student molested you, you can potentially file a lawsuit against the school and perhaps be compensated. Schools can be held responsible for sexual abuse that occurs on their premises or involves their staff or students.


Schools may not always be held responsible for sexual abuse, but they can be legally accountable for negligence if they fail to protect students from abuse. If the school breaches this duty, they can be sued.
For example, when a student is sexually assaulted or abused by another student on school grounds. Here, the school can be held responsible for not having sufficient safety policies to protect students from each other. If the sexual assault occurs on school property, the school can be held accountable for negligent security based on certain factors.
