If students do not feel safe they cannot learn. Bullying, if not stopped, can cause serious physical or emotional harm to the victim. It has taken several well-publicized tragedies for schools and the courts to take the issue of school bullying seriously. It may be possible, in the appropriate circumstance to receive both monetary damages and orders compelling prompt, corrective action to prevent further harm from occurring.

It is important that before legal action is pursued that strong evidence is accumulated. It must be recognized that these cases inevitably and perhaps unfortunately achieve high media attention. A sensitive victim, who has already gone through a great deal of emotional stress, may suffer again from the litigation.

For those reasons, when a lawsuit may be your best option to stop the bullying, you should choose a law firm like Roy, Shecter & Vocht, which recognizes that a lawsuit is first and foremost about the people involved. Call us at (248) 540-7660, before you make a final decision.
