Child Injury – £3500 – Soft Tissue Injury To Knee

16/12/2009

Child accident and injury compensation claim example:

Children’s accident and injury claim was made when a young child tripped and fell over a metal stump in a playground. A compensation claim by the child accident solicitors obtained £3500. Injuries sustained soft tissue injury to knee.

A child accident and injury claim was made when an 11 year old girl tripped and fell over a metal stump which use to form part of a monkey bar frame. Unfortunately the contractors failed to remove part of the frame of the monkey bar that remained protruding above the surrounding area of the playground.  As the young child was playing in the playground she tripped and fell over the metal stump landing heavily on her knee.

The injured child’s mother ran to the child’s rescue.  An ambulance was called. The child was in severe pain and distress. She was taken to the accident and emergency hospital to undergo an X-Ray on her knee. The consultant advised that the child has sustained a nasty severe soft tissue injury to her knee but that there was no fracture.

The child also suffered from cuts and bruises to her hands and elbows. The consultant advised the injured child and her parents that she must rest her knee as much as possible.

The injured child was absent from school for 3 weeks. The injured child also suffered repeated nightmares and mood swings as she could not play and participate in many PE activities and sports.

The child made a full recovery from the accident claim within 14 months from the accident. Whilst there was slight scarring the plastic surgeon instructed by the child’s accident solicitors advised that the scarring would virtually disappear when in her teen years.

The local authority responsible for the schools blamed the sub-contractor for accident as it was the contractor who failed to remove the metal stump in the playground.  A letter of claim was re-directed to the contractor who eventually admitted blame for the child’s accident.

The Child accident and Injury compensation solicitors obtained compensation for £3500 for the trip and fall accident. The child’s mother (known as the litigation friend) 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 off the insurance company. The infant child received 100% compensation and 0% legal costs which was approved by the Court.
