Claims for children

Claims for children
 

Any parent knows that when your child requires medical treatment it can be a time of intense anxiety. Of course, more often than not the treatment will be successful but what happens when its not of the highest standard, and your child’s injury or condition deteriorates as a result?

If your child has undergone medical treatment which has gone wrong, we can help with advice, and where appropriate, a claim for compensation. We have unrivalled experience in dealing with clinical negligence claims of many different kinds.

As a parent, you may need to act as a “Litigation Friend” for your child, representing their interests and giving instructions on their behalf. Our expert team will take the time to explain exactly what this means for you and how you can bring a claim on your child’s behalf.  Any settlement will have to be approved by the court, and any compensation obtained for a child, will be held in an interest-bearing account until the child reaches the age of 18.

Our “Real Stories below show the wide range of claims which we have brought on behalf of children, and the breadth of experience of our team of clinical negligence experts.
