| Aug 12, 2023 at 15:32 | comment | added | Mazura | the teachers employer is the legal entity that you sue for damages (but if this isn't the US, are there even any damages?). They themselves are protected by their company unless you can prove intent. forgery is like Q # 3. Who is resp at school. Who is resp during but not at. And finally, what if someone lied? | |
| Aug 12, 2023 at 9:12 | comment | added | quarague | What exactly is the waiver supposed to achieve if it is signed by the legal guardian? I would have thought the idea is the parents signs that the school is temporarily taking care of the child and responsible for it but you make it sound like the parent signs that the school looks after the child but the parent is responsible anyway which sounds very strange? | |
| Aug 11, 2023 at 21:11 | comment | added | abelenky | It is not at all clear what you mean by "responsible". The adult with the child is responsible for their immediate care and handling any emergency or injury that comes up (apparently a teacher in the situation outlined). Who is financially responsible for the costs associated with an injury? Likely whatever healthcare system the child is enrolled in, regardless of if they are on a properly authorized school trip or not. There are other types of "responsibility" as well. | |

| Aug 11, 2023 at 10:06 | comment | added | nvoigt | How good was the forgery? Should a normal layman have detected it, or was the kid really good at what they did? For some of the above cases this matters, for others is completely irrelevant. Are you interested in only claims by the parents as guardians of the kid directly, or would you be interested in how the kids health insurance and the liability insurance of the teachers employer battle it out behind the scenes on who need to reimburse who for which part costs? | |
| Aug 11, 2023 at 10:03 | comment | added | nvoigt | I have tried writing an answer, but as vague as it is, an answer would need to cover so much ground, you would probably not get a decent one. What do you define as "responsible"? Do you mean liable for costs of the injuries? Do you mean criminal negligence if something bad happens to the kid? What kind of injury was it? Was it something specific to the heightened danger of the trip, or just an everyday "kid stumbles, falls, hurts his knees"? Do you want to know who comes up for the doctors costs of treating the direct injuries, or claims over a lifetime, if the kid is permanently hurt? | |
