FAQs About Child Accident Compensation Claims
When Can I Make A Personal Injury Compensation Claim For My Child’s Injury?
You can make a personal injury claim on behalf of your child as soon as they are injured. If your child is under 16, you, as their parent or guardian, can make the claim. After their 16th birthday, your child will have until they turn 19 to make a claim on their own.
How Much Compensation Could My Child Get For A Personal Injury Claim?
The amount of compensation your child could receive depends on the severity of the injury, any medical costs, and how it affects their future. Serious injuries may lead to higher compensation. Our team will review the details and give you an estimate based on your child’s specific situation.
Can I Claim Compensation If My Child Was Injured In A School Accident?
Yes, you can claim compensation if your child was injured in a school accident caused by someone else’s fault. Whether it happened during class, on a school trip, or during break, if the school’s negligence played a part, you have the right to seek compensation for your child’s injury. We can help you through the process.
When Will My Child Receive Their Personal Injury Compensation Payout?
The timing of your child’s compensation payout depends on the complexity of the case. For most claims, compensation is settled once the details are agreed upon, but if the case goes to court or requires further investigation, it may take longer. If the claim is approved, compensation is usually paid once the court has signed off on the agreement.
What Are The Costs Involved In Making A Child Injury Compensation Claim?
Many child injury claims can be handled on a no win, no fee basis. This means you won’t have to pay any upfront costs, and if the claim is unsuccessful, you won’t have to pay a penny. We’ll discuss the payment structure and any potential costs during your first consultation, ensuring no surprises.
How Can I Tell If My Child’s Injury Is Serious Enough To Claim Compensation?
If your child’s injury leads to long-term physical or emotional impact, medical treatment, or a future need for rehabilitation, it may be serious enough to claim compensation. Even smaller injuries can sometimes warrant a claim if they affect your child’s daily life. If your child has been severely injured, it is especially important to seek legal advice promptly. If you’re unsure, our team can help assess whether a claim is appropriate.
What Types Of Accidents Commonly Lead To Serious Injury Claims For Children?
Accidents can happen anywhere, but some are more likely to result in serious injuries for children. These include road traffic accidents, falls at school or playgrounds, injuries from faulty products, or accidents at daycare. Medical negligence, such as birth injuries, can also lead to serious claims. If your child has been seriously injured, we can help guide you through the process.
Will My Child Need A Medical Exam For A Personal Injury Compensation Claim?
Yes, a medical examination is usually needed to assess your child’s injuries and how they may affect their future. This examination is carried out by an independent medical practitioner to ensure an unbiased assessment. The independent medical practitioner will evaluate the injury and provide a report that helps support your claim. We ensure this process is as stress-free as possible while taking your child’s comfort and needs into account.
What’s The Process For Starting A Child Personal Injury Compensation Claim?
Starting a claim for your child’s injury begins with a consultation. We’ll go through the details, gather evidence and explain your options.
