School Injuries
Has your child been injured at school?
It is in the nature of children to be inquisitive, after all that is how they learn. However, sometimes their curiosity will get the better of them, so that they may fall and sustain a personal injury. If you have entrusted your child into the care of their school, then it is up to the school to provide a strict duty of care so that the children are protected. This duty of care must be adhered to at all times.
We all know that children can injure themselves as a result of their nature to explore. However, if your child has been injured through neglect, you may well have a justifiable claim for compensation.
There are several ways that children can hurt themselves whilst at school. They can trip on a poorly maintained playground, or fall from defective school equipment. If your child does suffer school injury, then it is very important that you obtain the full details of the incident. The school should have an official accident book, so that they are able to record all such incidents. The school nurse should also have recorded the details of any treatment that they performed on your child.
If your child has been injured at school through no fault of their own, please contact a no win no fee solicitor who will be able to advise you on how to proceed with a compensation claim.
