Children Are Innocent Victims...
They suffer in silence, they learn to re-adjust, they cope with loss and often face long-term suffering.
 Parents of child victims of accidents generally do not take legal action against anyone. The most the majority seek is an explanation - sometimes they get answers; often they don't. Many victims are entitled to much more; if their suffering has been caused through no fault of their own, then they may claim children’s compensation.
Some parents will consider this route but are unsure how to go about it, who they should go to for advice, and what the possible risks may be. Quite often the parents may feel that accidents at school, or perhaps playground accidents, seem petty and don’t give serious consideration to potential long-term effects to their child.
This area of the law is extremely complex and it is vital that specialist advice is sought. You will have seen that we specialise exclusively in Child Health Litigation and as such, The Childrens Accident Helpline is regarded nationally as a leader in this field. Unlike most other claim websites who deal with a mixed bag of claimant work, we are committed only to the areas within Child Health Litigation and Medical Law. We believe that the expertise of our children’s solicitors enables us to achieve the best results for our clients.
The Children’s Accident Helpline is delighted to have specialist children’s solicitors within its panel who are members of APIL & SRA, and our accredited children’s lawyer will provide you with legal assistance if your child has had a personal injury or contracted an illness or disease through no fault of their own. |
Why claim?
- Do you think that someone else was wholly or partially to blame for your suffering?
- Was it their responsibility to ensure your child’s safety?
If you can answer YES to the above questions you may be entitled to compensation.
Despite media advertising, getting compensation is not easy and neither do the majority of cases take only a few months to settle. Often legal cases, especially those of the utmost severity or those involving ongoing medical problems, can take well over a year and can be quite daunting for the individual and their family.
It is therefore vital that you have a professional solicitor who is a specialist in the area of law you need advising upon to represent your child.
They will understand the intricacies of that area of the law and be experienced enough to avoid the pitfalls, and make the experience as strain-free as possible. Your child also needs someone who will understand their needs and explain to you (the parent/guardian) what is going on, what you have to do and what to expect.
It is unlikely that a child will suffer from more than one serious accident in his or her life; therefore being with a law firm who can maximise the potential of their case can considerably enhance their future care. It can, in some cases, mean the difference of many thousands of pounds.
