Parks – we all loved them as a child, I’m sure. I’ve so many fond memories of my time spent playing on the swings, slides, and frames; but their importance to children is also a duty to those who are responsible for maintaining them.<\/p>\n

Parks can see a lot of use made out of them meaning that ropes can deteriorate, wood can rot, and metal can rust. These are all things that those in charge of parks must make every effort to look out for.<\/p>\n

So what happens if your child has been injured by dangerous, defective, or worn down park apparatus? Whether it\u2019s a slide, swing, frame, tyres, blocks, seesaw, monkey bars, or other equipment that has injured you or your child, we may be able to help you.
\n<\/p>\n

Can you claim for park apparatus injuries?<\/h2>\n

If you or your child has been injured by dangerous or defective park apparatus then you may have a valid claim for personal injury compensation<\/a>. Whoever is in charge of the apparatus has a duty in law to take all reasonable steps to prevent anyone coming to harm<\/strong> from its use.<\/p>\n

Most of the time the apparatus may be owned and maintained by the local council, but sometimes they are outsourced to private firms or private individuals who are registered to check apparatus. Whoever has the responsibility must inspect all the equipment thoroughly and check for damage, wear and tear, and anything else that may pose a danger.<\/p>\n

If they fail to do this properly or fail to do this at all then you may have a good chance of winning a claim. If we can show that perhaps more inspections were needed, or that action should have been taken, then we can win a claim.<\/p>\n

What you need to do<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s always useful to have some photos of the apparatus that caused the injury<\/strong> and it\u2019s also a good idea to take some of the park and surrounding area as well. Speak to us<\/strong> before taking any other action as well and we can guide you in the best ways of doing it to make sure evidence is preserved and that any genuine right to claim is safeguarded.<\/p>\n

We can fight the case for you and fund the whole of the claim on a no win, no fee basis<\/a>.<\/p>\n
