Children have been injured in a bouncy castle accident recently when high winds caused the children to be thrown into the air, they were also thrown across the road in the accident.

The accident happened on Sunday afternoon in the White House Hotel in Whitby, North Yorkshire. One of the children, Koby Dakin,7, suffered severe injuries. There were three children playing on the bouncy castle at the time, which included Koby’s brother Kyle, 10 and Imogen Wright, 8, who is a friend of the boys.

The bouncy castle pegs were ripped out of the ground by the high winds.

The children were about to be taken off the bouncy castle as it was starting to look unsafe in the winds, but before they got off the castle it took off in the wind.

The bouncy castle hit a telegraph pole in the road. The children were on the ground in pain.

The police, fire and rescue service and an ambulance attended the scene. The children received medical attention at the roadside.

Imogen suffered concussion and Kyle injured his knee. They were both taken to Scarborough hospital. Koby was airlifted and taken to Middlesbrough’s James Cook Hospital. Koby has suffered two arm fractures, a broken leg, a broken rib , a head injury and a punctured lung.

Wind speeds of around 40mph caused the bouncy castle to leave the ground. A christening was being celebrated at the hotel at the time.

We have recently accepted such a case which involved a mother shopping with her son at Tesco in Harrow.

At the time of the accident the child was walking approximately 1 meter behind his mum whilst carrying a shopping basket when he suddenly slipped falling heavily on the floor.

The childs mother helped him up as he was in pain. The manager appeared very quickly and was told what had happened. The floor was wet for an area of approx 5 to 6 meters where it had just been mopped. There were no wet floor signs in place. The manager even saw the cleaner still mopping the floor and told the cleaner there should be warning signs out, after which he went on to apologise to the mum.

The accident was recorded into the accident book and the child received first aid in the store. The child went on to see his doctor who diagnosed a left elbow and right leg/knee injury.

His mum contacted us to pursue a child slip injury claim for his pain and suffering.

A child accident in a play park will no doubt be a regular occurrence as children run round, bump into each other or just fall off apparatus due to their own fault. It’s when a child injury in a park is due to the negligence of the park authorities, that a claim for child injury compensation may be made.

We have helped many parents claim for a child injury where the accident has happened due to faulty equipment in the park. All equipment should be regularly checked and maintained by the authorities. Some child injury claims have been made due to the safety mats around the apparatus having large chunks taken out leaving dangerous tripping hazards, as well as the edging of mats having lifted over time, again  causing a trip hazard. Some of the safety mats have had spikes or nails sticking out of the ground at the securing points, which have been the cause of child injuries after they fall on them.

Regardless of the cause of a child accident in a park, if negligence of the park owners has been to blame, then we may be able to help you claim child injury compensation.

Although children’s accident claims can be made up to their twenty-first birthday, it is often very difficult to obtain all the required information as time goes by. We would recommend advice is taken as early as possible following the accident.

All claims for children’s accidents we handle are on a no win no fee basis. To make a claim, please call us on 0845 10 88 333 or claim by clicking: Childrens accident claims for injury compensation.

A car accident involving children can be a particularly stressful time for parents. Often children injured in a car accident suffer whiplash injuries as a result. Children should be checked out by a doctor after a car accident to ensure they have not suffered an injury which may get worse if untreated.

A child whiplash injury can happen when the car they are in stops suddenly on hitting another vehicle or is hit by another vehicle causing the neck and shoulder muscles to suddenly stretch beyond their usual limits as the head is thrown back and forth at speed.

A child whiplash injury may last a day or two but in more a severe car accident, the child whiplash injury may last weeks or months.

A claim for a child whiplash injury can be made with us on a no win no fee basis. In order to claim, an adult will need to act as what is known as the child’s ‘litigation friend’.

In a tragic child accident a three year old, Rodney Lawrence, drowned in the family pond. The accident happened whilst a party was taking place for one of his siblings at home.

The police were called by Rodney’s parents when they couldn’t find him. The police arrived and found Rodney in the pond; they pulled him out immediately and called an ambulance.  Rodney was airlifted to hospital in Basingstoke, Hampshire, but sadly, he was pronounced dead.

The family are “heartbroken” said a close family friend. The pre-school which Rodney attended was closed for the day.

A friend’s mum, Karen Green who knew Rodney from playschool said: He was a delightful boy. He’d always be bouncing a ball around. The village is devastated”.

Rodney’s parents Jonathan and Marie of Kingsclere, Hampshire, are being comforted by friends and family.

Hampshire police are not treating the death as suspicious. A post mortem is to be carried out before an inquest.

The buggy maker Maclaren is to pay thousands of pounds to children who have suffered an injury due to their product. The folding pushchairs have been at fault for injuring the children, causing severe cuts, broken fingers or loss of fingers as they have become trapped in the pushchairs hinges.

Although Maclaren are paying compensation to at least 40 British children, they have denied liability. Payments of injury compensation for children will range from £2,000 to £10,000, the child compensation payments will be determined by the severity of the injury and length of suffering the child has had, caused by the pushchair.

In America, Maclaren have recalled around a million pushchairs after children had suffered the loss of fingers due to their pushchairs.

Maclaren are not to recall the pushchairs in the UK as it is said there are an insufficient number of cases where children have been injured.

Maclaren has said it takes child safety “very seriously”. They have also said “We have sold more than a million buggies in the past decade in the UK and have only had around 100 complaints”
