What Are Children’s Serious Injury Claims?

A child injury claim arises when a minor suffers a severe injury due to an accident or negligent actions. These claims often involve significant medical treatment, long-term care, and emotional trauma. Common causes include:

• Road accidents (car crashes, pedestrian accidents, or cycling incidents)
• Falls from heights, playground equipment, or unsafe premises
• Sports injuries caused by negligence or lack of supervision
• Medical negligence leading to birth injuries, surgical errors, or misdiagnosis

Common Types of Serious Injuries in Children

Children’s injuries can vary in severity but often include:

Head & Brain Injuries

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), skull fractures, and concussions that may lead to long-term developmental issues.

Spinal Cord Damage

• Injuries affecting the spine or nervous system, sometimes leading to paralysis or mobility issues.

Bone Fractures

• Broken bones that may require surgery and extensive rehabilitation.

Neurological Injuries

• Nerve damage or conditions affecting movement, speech, or cognitive abilities.

Psychological Trauma

• Emotional distress such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression, often requiring therapy and long-term support.

Children are especially vulnerable to long-term complications from serious injuries, which is why pursuing full compensation is crucial.

Why Filing a Claim for Your Child’s Injury Is Important

Seeking compensation for your child’s injuries is about more than just financial relief—it’s about ensuring they receive the best possible care and support for their recovery and future well-being. A successful claim can help cover:

Medical Expenses

• Hospital treatments, surgeries, rehabilitation, and specialist care needed for recovery.

Therapy & Rehabilitation

• Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, counseling, and mental health support to aid recovery.

Educational Assistance

• If the injury affects your child’s ability to attend school or learn effectively, compensation can help with specialized education support.

Long-Term & Future Care Costs

• If your child’s injury results in permanent disabilities, funds may be needed for home adaptations, mobility aids, and personal care assistance.

Emotional & Psychological Impact

• Compensation can acknowledge the emotional strain and distress the child and family endure.

Our priority at Integrity Law is to ensure your child’s needs—both immediate and future—are fully accounted for in the claim.

The Legal Process for Making a Child Injury Claim

Unlike adult claims, children’s injury claims require a parent or legal guardian to file on their behalf. The child’s case is typically overseen by a court-appointed ‘litigation friend’, ensuring their best interests are protected throughout the process.

At Integrity Law, we handle every aspect of the claim, working alongside medical specialists, therapists, and legal experts to build a strong case that fully reflects the impact of the injury.
