Do you have insurance? Why do you feel the school should help with the medical bills? The school will most likely advise you that they weren't negligent.

What type of release form did the parents sign before the child was allowed to go on the field trip?

Health insurance will pay for the medical bills, minus any deductibles, co-pays, etc.

The OP said it was a 'field day'. In my parts a 'field day' is typically held near the end of the school year. It is basically a prolonged recess and typically takes place on the school grounds.
