INJURIES TO CHILDREN

It is every parent’s worst fear when their child is injured.

It can be from

• A fall on the road or in a playground
• A road traffic accident as a pedestrian hit by a vehicle
• An injury at school or nursery
• A physical or sexual assault

Some recover well and are able to put the incident behind them but a few suffer life changing physical and/or mental injuries that will require long term support and assistance.

It is important that any child who does suffer an injury no matter how minor or serious is properly compensated for their injuries and care needs both for the present and in the future.

We at Beesley and Company have experience of dealing with child injuries and are acutely aware, both as lawyers and parents ourselves, of the specific and often complex needs and approach to dealing with children involved in accidents.

We believe that we can be compassionate and yet focused on what is needed for the child and through our work assist the whole family to cope with whatever the injury has thrown at them. Whether this be short term difficulties or long term financial and care needs and support for the family.

How much can I expect to receive for my child’s injuries?
