Accidents Involving Children
Child accident compensation claims
As a result of many years of experience in this area, we understand that claims involving children need to be handled with particular care and sensitivity. Parents are understandably upset that their child has been hurt and witness evidence can be difficult to obtain, especially if other children are involved.
Depending on the child’s age we may need to advise on allegations of contributory negligence. Our specialist, Legal 500 recommended team of child injury claim solicitors are able to provide you with the support and guidance you need at this difficult time.
If the child is young and the injuries are serious they will have to live with the consequences for many years to come, potentially affecting their education, their career, and future relationships. The effects of the original injuries may become more significant over time and if there is a risk of a related condition developing in the future it may be appropriate to claim provisional damages. If a child’s life expectancy is reduced this may have a significant impact on the amount of damages awarded.
No amount of money can make up for seeing your child in pain. But we’ve seen how much of a difference compensation can make to a child’s treatment, recovery, and future.
If your child has been injured in an accident, you can trust Hart Brown to look after their interests and get them the compensation they deserve.
