Child Injuries accident and compensation advice

Child accident and injury compensation claim example:

Children’s accident and injury claim was made when a young boy slipped, tripped and fell due to loose/broken tile. A compensation claim by accident solicitors who acted on behalf of the child obtained £2800. Injuries sustained moderate fractures to big toe.

A child accident and injury claim was made when a 13 year old slipped and tripped over a tile in the swimming baths whilst on a school trip with other pupils. The injured child suffered from severe pain in his toe. This was caused by a tile in the swimming baths that was loose causing him to stump his toe, trip over and fall to the ground.

The injured child had to be taken to accident and emergency to have his big toe x-rayed. The x-ray results showed the injured child that he had fractured his toe. The injured child was absent from school for 4 days and made a full recovery within 3 months of the accident.

The local authority admitted blame for the accident.  The Child accident and Injury compensation solicitors obtained compensation for £2800 for the trip and fall accident. The child’s mother (known as the litigation friend) also received compensation for expenses.

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.
