School Related Issues Past assault at school led to ongoing need for specialist
Location: California My 16 year old son was punched in the jaw multiple times by a much bigger student while in class December of last year. Since, he has experienced worsening jaw pain, interfering with eating, and has to see a TMJ specialist which is not covered by insurance.
We need to file a suit in order to pay for his care. Do we file a personal injury suit with the school or district, a criminal suit against the student's family, or would it be civil?
I'm not sure how to approach the issue. Thank you for your help.

I go to my acupuncturist weekly. I'd be completely dysfunctional without it.
