Types Of Child Accident Claims
Being a parent or guardian is a huge responsibility and if your child has been seriously injured through no fault of their own, you may be able to make a claim for the compensation they deserve.

- Playground accidents
- Medical negligence
- Faulty toys or equipment
- Slips, trips and falls
- Road accidents
- School accidents
How To Make A Claim For Children’s Accident Compensation
Child accident claims for individuals under the age of 18 have to be made by a Litigation Friend, which is usually a parent or guardian appointed to act on the child’s behalf. Any awarded compensation is held in trust until your child is 18 unless there is a need for the money sooner, such as to pay for medical care. If your child is under 18 when the accident occurs then the claim must be made before they turn 21 years of age.
Our professional personal injury solicitors have the experience and personal approach to ensure the claims process is straightforward and as stress-free as possible for you and your family. Aware of all related issues, we will provide support and guidance throughout, including obtaining medical and educational assessments to monitor the impact of your child’s injuries – now and ongoing into the future.
