Child Injury Claims

Whether at school or nursery, in a public place or in someone's home, if your child has suffered an injury as a result of someone's negligence they may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim.

A duty of care is owed to our children to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to maintain their safety.

Our specialist solicitors will help you to pursue a compensation claim on their behalf on a "no win - no fee" basis.

What types of accident can children claim for?

We can pursue claims for any accident where a child has suffered due to someone's negligence. This could be due to lack of adequate supervision, or for failing to ensure the safety of the child. For example:

• Faulty equipment in a playground or education establishment
• Accidents at school, nursery, playgroup or creche
• Slips, trips or falls in public places
• Car accidents

Compensation can be claimed for many other types of accident involving children. Contact us to speak to one of our specialist personal injury lawyers who will discuss the circumstances of your child's accident and assess your claim.

Special rules for claiming on behalf of children

Claims on behalf of a child are fundamentally different to claims for adults.

For an adult the time limit for making a claim for most types of personal injury is 3 years from the date of the injury.

For children, the 3 year time limit does not start until they reach the age of 18, therefore you may bring a claim on behalf of a child up until the age of 21, even if the accident happened many years before.

However, we still recommend contacting us as soon as possible if you think you may have a claim.
