A child accident and injury compensation claim was made when an 8 year old boy fell down some shop stairs whilst shopping with his mother. The accident was caused by a slippery floor after it had been mopped but left wet without notice of a slipping hazard. The injured child suffered from back pain and was taken straight to accident and emergency hospital.

Following X-Rays there was relief to the parents who thought the child suffered serious injury due to the amount of pain and upset caused to the child.  Whilst the child’s back caused took the brunt of the fall he only sustained soft tissue injury to his back. The consultant advised the injured child to rest his back until it was recovered.

The injured child was absent from school for 1 week. The injury stopped him playing for several weeks.  He could not play football or participate in his PE lessons which he enjoyed.  The injured child suffered from moods swings for a period of about 4 months.

Child accident and Injury compensation solicitors obtained compensation for £3100 for the child accident. The child’s mother also received compensation for expenses and loss of earnings.

The child accident and injury solicitors acted on a NO WIN NO FEE agreement and recovered all legal costs off the insurance company. The infant child received 100% compensation and 0% legal costs which was approved by the Court. 

Note that that mother who instructed the child compensation injury solicitors is known as a litigation friend.  The compensation payment to the infant child was approved by the Court and the compensation to be invested on behalf of the infant child until the child reaches the age of 18 years.  At that age the child then in law reaches majority and is able to obtain the compensation from the court with interest that has accumulated since the money was in court.
