Child accident claim by solicitors, injury compensation claim example:

A child accident claim by solicitors on behalf of a young child was ran over by car. A compensation claim by child accident solicitors obtained £6500 for the injury.  Major injury sustained a simple fracture to the leg.

A child accident and injury claim was made when a 12 year old boy was ran over by a driver at speed.  The injured child was crossing the main road to his local bus stop to go to school. The injured child suffered a fracture to the leg.
 
The injured child was in severe pain and had to be taken to accident and emergency hospital for his leg x-rayed. The x-ray results showed the injured child that he had fractured his right leg. The consultant advised the injured child and his mother that he must rest his leg as much as possible.  The leg was placed in plaster for 4 weeks, he was on crutches for 2 weeks.

The injured child was absent from school for 4 weeks and was unable to continue his social activities.  He also suffered from disturbed sleep due to pain which continued for 2 weeks after the accident.

The Child accident claim solicitors obtained compensation for £6500 for the child.

The child accident claim 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 accident claim solicitors is known as a litigation friend.  For further details see http://childinjuries.co.uk/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.
