Children & Injury

We have successfully acted for many children with claims for compensation. A child may be injured following a road traffic accident, an accident at school or following a medical mistake. In some cases a child may be suffer cerebral palsy arising from the circumstances of his birth. Our team have years of experience of handling all types of cases and are recgnosised in the legal directories as leaders in our field.

Sometimes the circumstances giving rise to the accident happened many years ago and the effects have only materialised as your child has developed.

Cases where a child has been injured should only be handled by specialist lawyers and there additional considerations. A person is considered to be a child until the age of 18. This means that any settlement obtained before the child reaches their 18th birthday requires approval from the court. Our team will explain this process every step of the way.

We understand that some injuries suffered by children often have life changing consequences affecting not only the child but the family and loved ones who care for it. We recognise that early intervention is key. At Bindmans we are committed to exploring the opportunity of requesting an interim payment where appropriate to fund the therapies and life style changes that the injured child may require.
