Can we bill the medical expenses to a preschool for accident occurred at their facility?
Question by violetsky: Can we bill the medical expenses to a preschool for accident occurred at their facility?
My daughter injured her elbow back in August 2009 from the slide at the preschool she’s in. Can I bill my deductible and copay to the preschool? What is the law for preschool injuries. Can they prevent any liability just by saying – accidents do occur?
Update on this questions per March 2010:
The only answer I got on this question was: Yes, accident DO take place and move on with your life.
While contemplating on what to do, I went ahead and asked anyway. I asked the possibility of obtaining reimbursed of any medical bills occurred. Of course I asked very nicely and non-forcefully. 1 of the Qs I had for the school was: “Is this school covered by any insurance?” The answer was: “Yes we are, and go a head fill out this form and our insurance will take care of it” So the school paid for a +/- $ 500 bill without having any dilemma. There were no difficult feelings my child currently is still going to the exact same school. So, my two cents: Don’t be afraid to ask anyway!

And I agree, definitely the school is responsible. We take our youngsters to day care to be supervised and resonably taken care of. If they are injured although in there care the bills must be covered. Pain and suffering would also be covered if it was a serious injury.
