A student at a private school in Miami-Dade County suffered serious harm as a result of the school's failure to provide adequate supervision, monitoring, and safeguards. The institution had a duty to protect its students. It failed to meet that duty, and a child was harmed as a result. The case involved claims of negligent supervision, failure to monitor, and failure to report. Mausner Group pursued the school and its insurer and the case resolved through settlement for $900,000.
Private schools in Florida owe a duty of care to the students entrusted to them. That duty includes adequate supervision, proper monitoring of student interactions, and mandatory reporting obligations when harm occurs or is suspected. When an institution fails on each of those fronts, the legal exposure is significant. Mausner Group built the case around those failures and secured a settlement of $900,000 for the surviving family.
