Child Injury – £3500 – Fracture To Arm

01/12/2009

Child accident and injury compensation claim example:

A child compensation accident and injury claim was made when a child fell off a platform of a slide in a park. A child accident compensation claim by accident solicitors was made and they obtained £3500. Injuries sustained a simple fracture to arm.

A child accident and injury compensation claim was made when a 12 year old boy was playing at a park on the platform of a slide. The child was near the edge of the platform waiting to go down the slide until he fell off and heavily landed on the ground causing him to land on his right dominant arm.

The injured child was in severe pain and was taken to hospital to undergo an x-ray.  The x-ray results showed the injured child and his parents that there was a simple fracture to his right dominant arm. The injured child suffered severe pain and was kept at home from school for 1 week. Following the child accident, the child made a complete recovery from the accident within 6 months.

The accident was caused by defective slide guard rails. The guards were vandalised and had not been repaired.  There was evidence from other parents who had used the park that the defect went unnoticed for at least 3 months.

At first the council responsible for the accident denied liability but following the child accident solicitor’s letter and witness evidence produced at a later stage the council admitted blame.

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.
