With 3-4 inches of snow, i was on my way to school, when it should have be at the least, delayed, i slid on slush/ice and while trying to keep my jeep on the road, i ended up on the wrong side of the road, a similar scene happed to a friend of mine a few weeks prior and he slid into a ditch hitting a telephone pole. I tried to merge back into my lane without flipping or slidding any more. I was unable to get back over before hitting another car head on. luckily no one was injured . Can i sue my school district for not canceling school knowing that the weather was dangerous and that many students drove themselves to school? The least they could have done was delay school giving the roads a chance to clear up.

For the person in canada, i dont live in canada, that amount of snow here is a large amount, im sure you could have driven in it without a problem. i understand that the accident was my fault, and i said that on the police report, i meant that could i file a claim with the school district for n.ot dleaying or canceling school in harsh conditions. It was also hailing and snowing.

Ask your school to teach you all how to drive in snow properly...
Why the need to sue everyone? Why can't people take responsibility for their own actions anymore?
You goofed, your fault, you pay. No one else to blame. If it was as bad as you say, then why did you bother going?
Oh for the good old days before lawyers and this sue culture.

in the event that they have you ever in PT now, your charges are going to boost. bypass see a lawyer. he will initiate the tournament out at a million or so, and you will finally end up with superb contract. often, evaluate 3 or 4 circumstances the scientific charges for discomfort and suffering. although, while you're nevertheless seeing somebody for the discomfort, the charges will upward thrust, and as quickly as you sign that contract checklist the coverage business business enterprise is done with you. 100k minimum, on your pocket is what you ought to be in seek of.

3-4 inches and your in a 4 wheel drive and lose control. you ought to sue the state for allowing you to have a license. our schools stay open with 20 inches on the ground

I would say not. You are responsible for yourself and could have stayed home, gone in late, taken other transportation if available........let me see if I have this right...a JEEP, 3-4 inches snow??? You live in Florida or somewhere where snow is a rarity?????

I don't understand how the school district is even remotely responsible for your driving ineptitude.
You should have taken the bus, son.

Nope, the law would see nobody at fault except for you because you were driving and had no chains or other precautions to avoid slippage on the ice and you could have opted to keep your child home.

yes you can sue them if you like but you will not win. Even if your school did not close that day no one put a gun to your head and made you go.

Yes, I agree. If you hadn't been on your way to school when you slid, then no, it was your fault, but for the school not even to delay was there fault, if you are going to sue don't be greedy, ask for an estimate and sue for that amount, if the school is not willing to seetle the situation civily.
