Accidents where children are involved are particularly distressing for both the child and the parents or guardian. Many parents are often unsure as to whether or not they can or should claim compensation for a kids accident and are worried about doing the right thing, but help is at hand.
Here at Pinstripe we deal with many accidents involving children and understand the pain and anguish suffered by everybody.
Unlike the three year claiming period for adults, children can claim for an accident all the way up to their 21st birthday. When making a claim, for those still under the age of 18, a parent or anybody over 18 will need to submit the claim on their behalf.
As parents know, there are many ways that children get into accidents. These include:
- Accidents at nursery, school and college
- Car and road accidents
- Play area, park and playground accidents
- Shop or supermarket accidents
- Accidents at a friend's or relative's house
- Leisure centre, activity centre and swimming pool accidents
- Accidents on holiday
- Sport and outdoor activity accidents
- Faulty product and toy injuries
- Pushchair, pram and buggy accidents
- Accidents at home or in the garden
- Accidents at a club, kids disco or youth centre
This list is by no means complete but gives you an idea as to what potentially you could claim for.
In addition to claiming compensation for your child's injuries, you may also be able to claim for medical expenses, lost wages and any other out of pocket expenses.
