Child Injuries accident and compensation advice

There has been a recent upsurge of trampoline child injury accidents due to the popularity of home based garden trampolines.  As child injury accident solicitors it is important that parents are aware of the dangers to children when using a trampoline. Parents have been brought into the idea that they are safe with the guard or netting preventing children or adults from falling off the trampoline to the floor causing injury.  Many trampoline child accidents are caused by unsupervised children jumping on the trampoline at one.  The accident and injury to a child or the children playing and jumping on the trampoline can be made that much worse if on child or a group of children are much larger or taller than their friends.  The additional weight can cause much more severe injuries to a child or children if the fall and land onto their smaller friends.

As child injury accident solicitors are advice is quite simple.  The rule is only one child at a time on the trampoline.  All child jumpers must be carefully supervised by their parents at all times.  It is only once they are competence and experienced that a child can be left to use the trampoline, but as in any parent child relationship, parents know best about their child and whether they can trust leaving them to their own devises.  Children will be children, and they will no doubt attempt stunts which can be dangerous.  There will be an element of horseplay if children are left unsupervised.  A trampoline must be regularly inspected to ensure everything is safe and sound and that the trampoline is on a firm footing and base. Child injury and trampoline accidents can be very serious causing neck and spinal cord injuries to lesser injuries like scrapes, bruises and sprains.

Parent must be very wary about the risk of trampoline child accident injuries at all time.  Often trampoline accidents causing injuries to a child can be caused simply by a neighbour who has a trampoline in their garden lets children of all ages and experience lets them all on the trampoline at once.  Should a child or children on the trampoline sustain an injury as a result of the unsupervised activity on a trampoline may be sued for damages for compensation.  Child injuries and accident solicitors will take instructions from the parents and the child who may sustain anything from minor to serious injuries in order to see if the supervising adult was negligent.  It is therefore very important not only for parents to be aware of the dangers of a trampoline accident to their child but also, if they let other children onto the trampoline unsupervised where a child or children are hurt, they could also be sued in negligence by solicitors acting for the injured child.

A Trampoline Accident at School

As child injury accident solicitors we are taking accident against a school in respect of a trampoline accident to a child who sustained very serious injury.  Whilst the child was reasonably experienced, the child was required to do a somersault for the first time. As the child attempted to do the required manoeuvre she fell awkwardly causing injuries.  There was only one trained teacher at the time who was otherwise engaged with a group of other children.  The child’s solicitors consider that the school/local council was ultimately responsible for the accident due to the fact that the teacher ought to have spotters to help reduce or eliminate the risk of harm or personal injuries to the child at the school trampoline lesson.
