My son, who has autism and is low-verbal, was injured in mid-May if this year when school staff supposedly tried to prevent him from hitting his head on his desk intentionally. ( He does not have a history of doing this). These staff are supposedly CPI trained. In any case, one of the staff clawed my son down the middle of his forehead. This was not merely a scratch-it was a quarter-inch wide gouge where several layers of skin were removed. I took pictures of his injuries when he got home, and I also took him to the pediatrician to have these injuries documented, mostly because that forehead looked so bad. Here we are six weeks later, and it looks like it will be a scar. I had asked school for an accident report, I was told by the nurse that she logs events in her computer, but it is not their practice to send home a written report. I believe that my son will have a scar. Any tips on what I should do at this point? I have a call in to one personal injury lawyer. Are there specific questions i should ask? Thank you.
