Tennessee Bullying Case Affirmed at the Court of Appeals
Last year our office tried a case against Robertson County, Tennessee. The case involved serious injuries that a young boy sustained after being in a skirmish with another student. At trial, we successfully put on evidence about the school system ignoring our client’s disabilities and a mother’s continued request for help in relation to bullying at the school. In light of the school system’s failure to act and the life changing injuries sustained by our young client, the Court awarded the maximum amount allowed under the law in Tennessee.
I was recently interviewed about this ground breaking Tennessee school bullying lawsuit. You can watch the interview below:
