What to do if my 10 year old son old got his tooth knocked out yesterday?

His 2 classmates were fighting over a ball while getting in line after their recess. My son who at that time was putting or tying his shoes sitting on the ground got knocked off by tripping on him, which was a strong impact and hit the ground and his tooth knocked out. In line with this, I would like to ask if the two kids or the school has liabilities or responsible for my son’s medical or dental bills? It is so expensive since he will need to go or an endodontist to have a root canal treatment and we don’t know if he needs more than that. All our concern for now is hopefully they can save his tooth. He’s so worried about it and traumatized with what happened.

If there was negligent supervision by the school or if the matetr indictes other negligence, you may be able to collect for any oit of pocket medical expenses.  However, much more would have to be known about hte situation.
