In most cases children’s play parks are well maintained and children will have many hours of fun playing, and return home without suffering an accident.

There are times though when a child accident in a park happens due to faulty play park equipment or unmaintained/unsuitable ground covering.

Swings, slides, climbing frames and roundabouts in the park should be regularly inspected by the authority responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the park. Any defects should be repaired and if they cannot be repaired immediately, they should be clearly marked that the piece of apparatus should not be used.

Any child accident in a park should be reported to the authority if the accident is as a result of their negligence. It is advisable to take photos of the defect in the park prior to reporting it.

We handle injury compensation claims for children’s park accidents which are due to the negligence of the responsible authority.

Should the child accident in a play park be due to their own fault, and is just an unfortunate accident, then a claim for injury compensation will not be possible with us.
