Can I sue a school or school district for my child’s wrongful death?

Can I sue a school or school district for my child’s wrongful death?

Yes, but claims against Georgia public schools involve governmental immunity analysis and strict ante litem notice requirements. Under the Georgia Tort Claims Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-21-20 et seq.), claims against state agencies must include proper ante litem notice, and municipal schools have their own notice requirements under O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5. Sovereign immunity waivers have limits. Despite these hurdles, Haug Barron Law Group has experience holding public and private schools accountable for the wrongful deaths of children.
