Accident as a child

Although accidents and injuries are a natural part of childhood, your child may be entitled to compensation if safety measures were lacking or if someone else was negligent. Unfortunately, many parents hesitate to initiate a personal injury claim, either because they are unsure whether they are entitled to compensation, or because they lack the means to cover the legal costs. As a result, they and their children miss out on the compensation to which they are rightfully entitled. Is your child under 14? Do not hesitate to contact a leading specialist at Sparta Legal immediately. You and/or your child are entitled to compensation. We will assist you free of charge and take care of everything for you.

When a child has an accident or is injured, this can have a huge impact on the lives of every family member – including the child themselves, as well as their parents, siblings, grandparents and other close relatives. When determining the amount of compensation to be awarded, the opposing party will need to take various factors into account, including:

• The severity of the injury;
• The impact of the injury on your child’s life;
• Whether your child will need extra support or treatment in the future;
• As a parent, how much income have you lost because you have had to stay at home to look after your child?

The total amount your child receives as compensation includes, amongst other things:

• Actual medical and legal costs, including transport to the hospital or other necessary locations;
• Compensation for pain, suffering and reduced quality of life;
• Compensation for future losses and the costs of ongoing medical treatment, where necessary.

There is more to it than you might think. That is why you should contact us straight away so that we can take care of all the legal aspects for you and ensure you do not miss out on any potential compensation.
