Is the School Responsible for My Child Getting Hit at a School Crosswalk With No Crossing Guard?

The city or the school could be held responsible for employing a crossing guard at the intersection in which your child was hit. However, if the city cut the funds to employ crossing guards and it was up to the school to provide one, then the school district may be liable for failing to post a crossing guard on the day of your son’s accident. If the crossing guard was late or took a break to use the bathroom, then the crossing guard may shoulder some of the blame for the Georgia pedestrian accident.

However, the liability may ultimately come down to the driver. Drivers of motor vehicles are supposed to watch out for pedestrians crossing the street, especially children near schools. If the driver ran a red light, was texting and driving, participating in other forms of distracted driving, speeding, driving aggressively, or driving intoxicated, then the driver who hit your son may be the one responsible for your son’s injuries, medical bills, pain and suffering, and more.
