Child Injuries accident and compensation advice

Child accident and injury compensation claim example:

Child accident and injury claim was made when a young girl had fallen off a pony. A compensation claim by accident solicitors who acted on behalf of child obtained £5000. Injuries sustained a fracture to the forearm.

A child accident and injury claim was made when a 10 year old girl fell off a horse whilst on a riding lesson. The pony had thrown the child to the ground.  She landed heavily to the ground.  

The injured child suffered with severe pain to the forearm. The injured child’s parents took her to accident and emergency to see if her arm was broken. The x-ray results showed she had fractured her arm. 

The injured child also suffered from nightmares since the accident happened but was determined to go back to the riding school after 5 months. Whilst the company responsible for the pony club denied blame following taking court action the Club’s solicitors later confirmed that liability was to be admitted due to a previous similar incident with the same pony.

The injured child was unable to continue her other hobbies including swimming and netball until her arm was fully recovered.

Child accident and Injury compensation solicitors obtained compensation for £5000 for the road traffic accident. The child 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 from other side.  The parents on behalf of the child received 100% compensation and 0% legal costs.

All parents will need to be aware that any child (that is a person under the age of 18 years) must have the amount of the accident compensation approved by the Court. The parent of the child called the “litigation friend” instructs the solicitors on the Child’s behalf to claim the child accident compensation. The Court will invest the child’s compensation until the child attains the age of 18 years.  The child can then request the compensation plus interest.  If the child needs money before the age of 18 years the parents can ask the court for money on account but must explain to the court why.
