Whether the accident to a child is minor or major we can help you and advise you in clear terms if there is a reasonable prospect of making a successful claim for compensation for the child injury and financial losses. Many childrens’ injuries are due to the fact that they are inquisitorial and it is in their very nature to explore. Children are absorbed by their surroundings and are often not aware of any immediate dangers. Boys are injured by showing off or playing “dare” among friends. In fact statistically boys are more likely to be injured than girls.
