My son, a 13-year-old student at a boarding school, was injured while playing cricket. Despite my son’s pleas and repeated requests, the school failed to inform us about the injury and did not seek medical attention for him. Only after four days did my son manage to contact us himself. Sadly, due to this delay, my son lost sight in his right eye. What legal recourse do I have against this negligence on the part of the boarding school?

Under Indian law, you have a strong case for negligence against the boarding school. Their failure to inform you about your son’s injury and delay in seeking medical attention directly resulted in permanent harm, violating their duty of care. You can file a civil suit for damages, including medical expenses, loss of income, and compensation for the permanent disability.
