Frye claims her daughter got out into the hallway and passed out, which caused her to fall and hit her face. Another teacher and Morris later found Adkins in the hallway and attempted to contact Frye, according to the suit. Frye claims no one at the high school called for an ambulance, and when she arrived at the school she took Adkins to Cabell Huntington Hospital, where she had to undergo surgery the next day.
