School Bullying Cases

All children have a legal right to an environment free from harassment, intimidation and bullying where they can grow and learn.

New Jersey has one of the strongest Anti-Bullying laws in the country. The law makes schools and their administrators accountable for addressing all incidents of harassment and bullying in their schools, whether physical or online (cyberbullying). Strict guidelines and procedures must be followed.

Moreover, if the bullying is based upon race, sexuality, ethnicity, religion or other protected categories, then a lawsuit may be brought under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD).

Recoverable damages may include compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorney fees.
