Child Accident Compensation - TIME LIMITS

The legal system in England and Wales treats children's injury claims differently from those of adults. Effectively the child claimant has until he or she is 21 before any claim is time-barred. (However, as with all accident claims it is crucial that any claim is started as soon as possible after the accident. Any delay may prejudice a successful outcome.)

 Court rules provide that any settlement of a child's injury compensation case must be approved by a judge. The judge will also make provision for the investment of any settlement award until the child reaches the age of 18.

This is an important safety net to ensure that children's injury compensation cases are dealt with justly. Both the child and their litigation friend require the kind of specialist legal advice our child injury solicitors offer on a daily basis.

We aim to make the process simple and straightforward and will keep you fully informed throughout.
