My Kid's Teeth Got Bashed In At School And Will Require Extensive Dental Work.

Location: Texas. Another kid was swinging a lunchbox with a metal water bottle attached in a crowded hallway. My son didn't see it as he was walking and his mouth was hit with the water bottle resulting in a chipped lower tooth close to the nerve, and two upper teeth bashed in. The dentist is working on him now, but we will have to have dental work and visits regularly over the next several months. It wasn't intentional, but should I ask the boy's parents to help pay for this? Or the school? Im already putting two daughters through college and can't afford this.

Update: verdict from the dentist. The chipped lower tooth could not be reconstructed because the upper teeth are bashed in and contacting the chipped tooth when he bites. The upper teeth cannot be pushed back out because that risks killing the upper teeth. Dentist recommends letting the upper teeth heal for 3 or 6 months and then working with an orthodontist. This is going to not be cheap!!! I kind of feel like I should be able to pursue some sort of compensation.
