Has your child been injured in an accident?
If your child has been injured in an accident you may be able to claim compensation for those injuries.
Beswicks Solicitors has represented many children and their families in pursuing compensation from all different types of accidents. Examples include tripping accidents, whether at school or elsewhere, road traffic accidents, accidents in places like water parks, playgroups, fun houses and even fast food chains. The injury claims range from minor injuries to catastrophic claims.
We have also represented parents pursuing claims for medical and dental negligence on behalf of their children. This is a complex area where guidance from legal professionals like ourselves is essential.
It can be very traumatic when your child suffers injury as a result of the negligence of someone else and you need to obtain the best specialist advice as soon as possible after the incident.
We advise parents to take their children to a doctor or hospital for medical treatment after an accident. In addition to ensuring that appropriate treatment is provided, this also ensures that the facts of the accident will be recorded on a contemporaneous basis by the general practitioner, the hospital staff or triage nurse.
If your child is under the age of 18 the case must be finalised with an attendance at court, to protect the interests of minors. This also provides parents with greater protection and confirmation that what they have done on behalf on their child in pursuing compensation was the right thing.
All claims can be dealt with on a no-win-no-fee basis and, if successful, all legal costs should be met by the other side.
