NEWPORT NEWS — The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.
The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.
Calm down, Clarence Darrow, this is a civil case.
Someone is spending money on lawyers instead of spending money to keep their employees safe.
So what?
So your claims don’t apply.
No they still apply. Someone is having to defend themselves in a court. Doesn’t matter if it’s civil or criminal.
You can’t have a court where only the plaintif is allowed a lawyer.
