Child Injuries accident and compensation advice

Child accident and injury compensation claim example:

A child accident and injury claim was made when a 7 year old girl tripped over a shop rail in a clothes shop. A compensation claim by accident solicitors who acted on behalf of an employee obtained £5000. Injuries sustained a fracture to forearm.

A child accident and injury claim was made when a 7 year old girl tripped over a clothes rail stand. The stand was only a temporary measure and was unsuitable to be on the shop floor. The child tripped over protruding leg of the stand falling onto the floor suffering injury. The child’s accident was reported in the shop’s accident book

The injured child went to accident and emergency hospital to undergo x-rays with her mother who was with her at the time of the accident. The results showed the injured child and her parents that she has fractured forearm. The consultant advised the injured young child to take plenty of rest for the injury to heal.

The injured child was upset due to the pain and that she could not participate in sports, and play with her friends. She complained of repeated nightmares about loosing her arm resulting in mood swings and becoming tearful.

The accident was not admitted by the shop insurers. However following court proceedings taken by the child accident compensation solicitors an admission of blame was eventually conceded.

Child accident and Injury compensation solicitors obtained compensation for £5000 for the child accident. The child’s parents also received compensation for expenses and loss of earnings.

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.

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.
