An Idaho woman and a student who allegedly fell and hit his head on a fire hydrant during a physical education class filed a tort claim seeking more than $1 million in damages.
The claim, which was filed in late February, is against the West Ada School District, Mountain View High School, a teacher, the West Ada School District Board of Trustees, Ada County and the city of Meridian.
The Idaho Press reports, the city of Meridian said the claim had been processed and sent to the city’s insurer, who would review the claim and make decisions on what happens moving forward.
A tort claim is not the same as a lawsuit, it’s a notice someone believes a wrong has been committed and is preserving a right to sue.
