Child Injury Back, Neck, Body Compensation
20/06/2009Assessment of Compensation Awards For Child Injuries
The following is only a guide line to give parents and idea of how much compensation for whiplash, neck, back or injury to the body could be awarded to a child who suffers personal injury following an accident or injury. The child or children who are injured in an accident will be sent by a solicitor to be medically examined. Once the doctor has examined the child or children a written medical report will be sent to the solicitor and to the child’s parents for approval. Once approved the solicitor will then consider the injuries of the child as set out in the report and compare the injuries with claims decided in the courts previously where other children had sustained similar injuries. To solicitors this is called “precedents” and the compensation that will be payable to the child for the injury will be reflected by other cases decided in the past. The solicitor will have to be guided by the awards in earlier claim decided in court. Once the solicitor has considered the compensation amount that is reasonable for the injuries the child has sustained then the solicitor will advise the parent (or litigation friend) of what the solicitor considers is reasonable compensation. Once the amount is agreed then the child’s solicitor will write to the other person at fault and attempt to settle the claim without even taking court action.
