On October 4, 2000 at school in swimming class we were to perform various dives and would then be tested on skill. One particular dive, a "back dive" was done and resulted in injury. I have had chronic back and neck pain since the dive and I've seen the doctor on numerous occasions. Im now seeing a physitrist who says the problem may be a hairline spinal fracture (which doesnt really ever heal). He also said that whether it be a fracture or not, the pain may persist for a while longer and then stop, or it could be on-going forever. The problem is a direct result of the performed mandatory dive. The problem has persisted for 11 months and shows no signs of returning to normal. It happened just before my 16th b-day and I will now be 17. This may very well continue the rest of my life. So, what legal right do I have since the dive was mandatory @ school? Am I right to file a lawsuit against the school for damages incurred thus far and future complications? I'd like to know what you think before I contact an attorney.
Thanks, Justin
