Dave Ring Talks to California Lawyer on Suing School Districts
Burbank Unified School District was sued by a former administrative secretary for alleged sexual assault by the district’s assistant superintendent. After seven years, the district still isn’t finished litigating the case and if the appeal is unsuccessful, the case could cost the district as much as $5.5 million. The plaintiff could allege far beyond a sexual suit, one which includes a hostile work environment and harassment, further complicating the case.
Partner Dave Ring comments in the California Lawyer article, “Think Twice Before Suing This School District” about the difficulties that arise in lawsuits against schools. Often times, some school districts implement extremely aggressive tactics against plaintiffs who bring lawsuits. In this case, plaintiff attorneys have to be prepared for an onslaught by such defense attorneys and the school districts they represent.
Mr. Ring says, “A lot of defendants, including school districts, will fight aggressively in hopes of dissuading the [plaintiff’s] lawyer from bringing another case against the same district down the road. It’s absolutely a tactic they use.”
Mr. Ring regularly represents victims of sexual abuse and assault, and understands the complexities these cases often bring.
