If a child was injured on a jumpy jump while at a school event on school property, can they come after the parent who volunteered and help to organized the event?

The parents of child are taking legal action and the school is deferring the matter to the PTA. The PTA stated, they would take care of it with their legal as things like this happen all the time. However, while the school and PTA approved all items for the event, they (PTA)have a copy of the contract but see it was not signed by a member but the parent who organized the event. Can they come after the parent who organized the event if all was approved by the school and PTA?
