Accidents to children are common, often due to their inexperience and natural curiosity.
If an accident to your child results in injury, for example,
- from a piece of playground equipment or
- from a defective product or
- from the actions of another person,
you may be able to claim compensation on behalf of your child.
In our experience, it is important not to prejudge the chances of success of a claim for a child and therefore important to get specialist advice.
We have expert child accident solicitors – Marie Morrison and Peter Brash – who will be able to help you.
What sorts of accidents do children have?
Moray Claims expert child accident solicitors have dealt with a wide range of child accident claims.
We will guide you through the whole process, efficiently and sympathetically, ensuring your child’s best interests are looked after at all times.
Types of claims we have dealt with include:
- Car accident claims involving children including child whiplash claims (even if one of the parents caused the accident)
- Defective playground equipment and ground coverings
- Poorly protected building sites constituting an allurement to children
- Defective toys
- School accidents
- Needlestick injuries
How long do I have to make a child accident claim?
The basic rule is that you have three years from your child’s 16th birthday to make a claim for compensation.
To have the best chance of succeeding, the claim should be made as soon as possible – this will ensure that all of the evidence needed (from both witnesses and documents) can be gathered while it is still fresh.
