01

Identify who controlled the activity

A public or private school, transportation provider, coach, sports group, contractor, equipment supplier, or property controller may have a distinct role.

02

Preserve school and medical information

Keep incident and medical-response reports, communications, photographs, witness details, waivers, schedules, and information identifying the activity organizer.

03

Ask about special procedures

Public-school matters may involve notice requirements or immunities, while student privacy rules can affect access to information. A local lawyer can assess the correct entities and procedures.
