Children's accident claims

Children's accident solicitor

It is a regrettable reality that every week more than 90 young people are seriously injured or killed in children's accidents on Britain's roads, and many more are injured in other ways.

Though blame can often be attributed too readily to the child for his or her actions, the law agrees that children are less responsible than adults when it comes to protecting their own personal safety.

Irwin Mitchell believes the blame for children's accidents does not always lie with the child and that compensation can often be obtained on their behalf.

We have the knowledge necessary to deal with a full range of child accident claims. For example:

Road traffic children's accidents – whether the injured child is:

• A pedestrian
• A passenger
• A pedal cyclist

Tripping, falling and other accidents outside the home
Claims arising from negligent medical treatment
Non-accidental injuries

We recognise that where your children's accidents are going to impact on their long-term well being, particularly when a child head injury has been sustained, it is important that full compensation is received.

There is often only one opportunity for you to settle the child accident claim on their behalf so it is important to get prepare properly. Sometimes it is better to see how the child develops over time, rather than accept an early settlement.
