When you entrust your child to a school or daycare, a vulnerable adult to a
care facility, or even attend a supervised event, you expect a reasonable
level of safety and oversight. Inadequate supervision occurs when a person
or entity fails to provide the necessary level of watchfulness and care
appropriate for the situation and the individuals involved, leading to injury
or harm. If you or a loved one has suffered due to negligent supervision in
Arizona, AZ Law Now Injury Attorneys is here to help you understand your rights and pursue
justice.
Failure to supervise properly can have devastating consequences, and those
responsible should be held accountable.
Inadequate supervision is a form of negligence. It means that the person or
organization responsible for overseeing individuals – particularly children,
students, vulnerable adults, or even employees in certain situations – failed
in their duty to provide reasonable care, and this failure directly caused an
injury or harm.
The level of supervision required varies depending on several factors,
