In New York State, anyone under the age of 18 is considered to be an infant. People who are 15, 16, and 17 don’t want to hear those terms, but when an infant is under the care of an adult, the adult has the duty to act in a reasonable manner. If an infant is on a field trip and injured, we need to determine how they were injured, what happening at the time of the injury and whether that injury could have been prevented if the adult in a supervisory capacity had acted reasonably under the circumstances. If a child is injured on a field trip, the first thing that we do is we start entering into an investigation to determine exactly what happened and whether there was negligence on behalf of the supervising adult.
