How can I prove that the school board was negligent in my accident?

In order to prove that the school board was negligent in your accident in Iowa, you must first prove that the school board had a duty of care in the accident that they failed to uphold. This could be shown by a contract or agreement between the school board and the injured person or a witness who can testify that the school board was negligent in some way. Next, the court must show that the school board breached their duty of care which resulted in the injury. For example, the school board was not following safety protocols or providing proper supervision. Additionally, the court must also show that the breach of the duty of care was the cause of the accident. This can be done by providing evidence that the school board knew or should have known that the breach of their duty of care could lead to an accident, yet did not take reasonable steps to prevent it. Finally, the court must prove that the injury was caused by the school board’s negligence. This could include medical records, testimony from witnesses, and any proof of damage or harm that was caused by the accident. By providing evidence of a breach of the school board’s duty of care, and showing that the breach was the direct cause of the accident, you can prove that the school board was negligent in your accident.
