Children’s Accidents

Child accident compensation may be available if your child has been injured in an accident that was not his or her fault. Under UK law, children under the age of 18 are not permitted to begin the claims process. In the case of child accident claims, an adult must be appointed to act on the child’s behalf. If you wish to act on behalf of a child, speak to us today.
