We have recently accepted such a case which involved a bouncy castle on a fun day for Halloween at a farm. The child was on the bouncy castle when his mum called for him to get off. As he went to get off the bouncy castle, at the edge he lost his footing and fell from it head first landing on stone and grit. A large piece of stone or grit went into his head.

Although there was safety matting at the front of the castle there was no matting at the front sides which is where he fell from.

Faulty equipment in a park can be very dangerous and cause injuries to children as they play. All children should be able to play safely in the park without them, or their parents, worrying about injuries due to negligence of the park owners.

The majority of children’s play parks are maintained and inspected regularly but some parks have deteriorated over time and the required safety checks and maintenance has not been carried out.

We have helped parents claim for injuries to children due to park defects. There have been children injured in the park due to safety matting defects where the matting has lifted causing a tripping hazard and where nails have come through the matting, and a child fell onto it landing on his head causing a severe puncture wound. Children have been injured where the safety matting has large potholes in, which has caused children to trip as they play.

Other child park injury claims have been due to swings which have rusted so badly that the shackles have broken whilst a child was playing on the swing. This caused the child to fall and suffer broken bones.

Any child injury caused in a play park due to negligence may be claimed for. We have years of experience in children’s accident claims.

A child injured at school due to negligence of the school, may claim injury compensation if the injury suffered is sufficient.

Many of the accidents which children suffer at school are purely unfortunate and cannot be claimed for. These can be times when a child ran into another child accidentally or the child fell over on the playground just through playing but there were no defects which caused the trip, to name a couple.

Some people feel unsure about claiming compensation from a school, however, if the accident to the child would not have happened if the school had not been negligent, than it is your legal right to claim compensation for a school accident.

The school have a duty of care over the child within school hours and all steps should be taken by the school to ensure their safety.

We have helped parents and guardians of children to claim injury compensation for school accidents caused by a number of reasons. These include doors which were defective causing children to trap their fingers in the door as well as wet floors in the corridors without warning signs causing a slip accident and injuries caused in PE lessons due to lack of supervision and faulty equipment.

If you would like to know if a claim for a child accident caused at school can be made on a no win no fee basis, please contact us on 0845 10 88 333 or claim by clicking: Child injured at school accident claim.
