Children’s Accident Compensation

By nature children are adventurous, inquisitive and curious. They are always looking for new stimulation and adventure, which is by no means a bad thing. However this, coupled with the fact they are not as responsible as adults when it comes to personal safety, can cause them to be injured in accidents.

See our list below for the different types of accidents that could be suffered by a child, and if your child has suffered an injury similar to those below give us a call on 0844 704 1945 or fill in our contact form for a call-back.

Common places children may suffer injuries

These accidents can happen anywhere, and if the fault is with the person responsible for that location they may be liable for compensation. Some common places such incidents can happen are:

• Schools – a child can get hurt inside school anywhere from the classroom to the playground, or outside of school when under its care such as walking to and from school, on the school bus or on a trip.
• Road – as children do not have the same personal responsibility as adults they can sometime stray into the road on foot or on their bike, and get knocked over.
  Also, a child can be injured where they are a passenger in a car that has an accident
• Trespassing Incidents – if a child is able to access somebody’s property because it is not secured, and they get injured, the owner of that property could be liable.

Defective Products

Sometimes a child can suffer an injury by the use of a poorly manufactured, unsafe product. These can include:

• Dangerous toys – those that are too large or sharp, have small pieces or are simply poorly manufactured can pose a danger to a child.
• Faulty products – these can include high-chairs, car seats, pushchairs and more.
