Parents want us to pay medical bill for an allergic reaction
Checking if parents can sue us for accidently bringing cookies that had some kind of peanut in it to preschool. We feel we should only have to pay 1/3 of the medical cost instead of the 100%.
Re: Parents want us to pay medical bill for an allergic reaction
Your question is not easily answered. First, does the school have a rule prohibiting treats with peanuts, etc? If so did they provide a copy of the rule to you at the begging of the school year? Did you know any student was allergic to peanuts? Second, do you have homeowner's insurance? If so file the claim with your insurance company and allow them to decide what to pay.
Nice of you to want to pay but legally I'm not so sure legally there is any obligation to do so.
