Bullying Case Update on client who was beaten against a metal pole

Just completed the Complaint and filed a civil rights case about bullying and assault charges against a school system.
 
My client was beaten so badly that she had internal bleeding, her eye was displaced, she has lost some and may lose all the vision in it, her brain was bleeding - the school knew about the four girls who beat her - one already had assault charges on her, and they did nothing to protect the student body - and this is a small school - K-12, so the victim could have been anyone - it just happened to be my client
 
- they beat her against a metal pole for all the school to see - so they could see how tough they were, to let them all know what happens if you tell on someone - but, my client didn't actually do that - they made a mistake - a teacher walked by and didn't help,
 
finally, when they almost killed her - a teacher broke it up - but, the school didn't do anything for her - just let her sit in the office, bleed and vomit blood, almost pass out from her injuries - eye displaced due to the smashed orbital bone - when her mom came to get her she almost collapsed after seeing her injuries - the nurse had given her a bag of ice - simply refused medical treatment -
 
Mom took her to an ambulance substation - the ems workers took one look at her and called Lifestar to take her to UT Hospital - which saved her life. She was in critical care for 3 days.
 
When someone asked the nurse why she didn't call for an ambulance or do anything to help her she said "I didn't think it was that bad."
 
  I asked for $30 million dollars - $10 mil in compensatory and $20 million in punitive - and that is probably not enough.
 
I'll keep you posted as the case progresses. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
