Childrens Accident Compensation Claims UK

My child has had an accident – What can be done?

Obviously there are circumstances in which an accident is just that, an accident. However some accidents can be prevented. If your child is in the care of someone else, they must show a duty of care towards them to ensure that they are safe, if they have not demonstrated this they may be deemed negligent.

What type of accident can compensation be claimed for?

Innocent Injured have helped hundreds of children receive compensation for injuries they have sustained as a result of accidents. The most common types of accidents and injuries in which compensation can be claimed for include the following

• Accidents at school, playgroups or at crèches
• Faulty equipment in a playground or leisure centre
• Injured as a passenger in a car accident
• Slip or fall on defective pavement in the street or local park
• Burns, Breaks and fractures

Even if your child has been involved in an accident that is not listed above, you still may be able to make a claim on their behalf. Call our dedicated team today and a member of our team will assist you with your enquiry. You can contact us by clicking here.

Limitation – How long do we have to claim compensation?

The normal limitation period in which a claim for compensation can be brought against the guilty party in a personal injury claim is 3 years from the date of the accident. In the case of injury claims involving children this is fundamentally different. If a child, 18 years of age and under has an accident, you may bring a claim against the guilty party up to the age of 21. A court will rule that those persons under the age of 18 are not mentally sound to bring a claim on their own. If you are unsure if you can make a claim, contact us today and a member of our team will be more than happy to assist you with your enquiry.
