How can we help?

If a child sustains personal injury or trauma because of the negligence of others, compensation may be payable. Whether their school, nursery, sports club, leisure organisation, or a public body is to blame, or if children are injured in a road traffic accident, on holiday or at the shops, our experienced and approachable team can help.

Our personal injury lawyers secure large sums of money each year in accident and injury financial compensation – working for you, on behalf of your child or baby, we will strive to achieve as the maximum possible amount of compensation.

A FEW KIND WORDS

“I would just like to thank you for all your hard work in settling my father’s case and in coming to an agreeable settlement with the insurers. Thank you for being so patient with us, and taking time to explain things in layman’s terms…”

“You have led us through this process with ease and my father is very happy to have reached a conclusion in this matter. All your efforts are very much appreciated. Wishing you all the best…”

Personal Injury Services:

Your Child’s Welfare is Our Top Priority

In pursuing your compensation claim our aim is always to ensure the best available treatment, rehabilitation and ongoing care is provided for all child accident victims – if necessary we will take your case to court to secure the top-class care your child deserves.

And, as a leading full-service law firm, we have in-house access to wide-ranging legal and financial expertise – our trusts specialists can advise you on setting up a personal injury trust for your child, and our investment department comprises qualified financial advisors whose investment advice will help you safeguard your child’s future.

What is a litigation friend?

A child cannot bring a claim on their own so they require a responsible adult to give and receive instructions on their behalf, acting as a litigation friend. The litigation friend is usually their mother or their father but can be another family member or a legal professional.

Can I claim as an adult for an accident in my childhood?

Once you have reached adulthood at the age of 18, it is still possible to claim personal injury compensation for an accident that occurred in your childhood as long as you commence your claim before your twenty-first birthday. If you are in any doubt about a potential claim, contact our personal injury team for advice as soon as possible.

If you would like to know more about how to make a child accident personal injury claim, call us on 01243 786668, email our specialists directly, or write to us in confidence at info@georgeide.co.uk.

Client Support Story

After sustaining a severe brain injury at the age of 19, Mr A suffered a personality change and became prone to angry outbursts to the extent that his family were unable to cope with his behaviour. The success of our personal injury team, assisted by our independent healthcare-trained case manager and rehabilitation team, enabled Mr A to move into rented accommodation with 24-hour support. Now able to pursue new interests and fill his days constructively, he became much happier in himself and his quality of life – and that of his family – improved greatly as a result.

George Ide looked after my claim from accident to the case conclusion, they took care of everything on route which concluded in a very substantial out of court settlement. The settlement enabled the family not to worry about future employment problems, and gives everyone piece of mind.
George Ide are a very professional company, and I would always recommend them to other people in the same situation.
