\"\"We all remember school. It is either with fond memories of friends and fun or with memories which we have tried to forget of getting in to trouble and hating homework.<\/p>\n

Whatever these memories, we would hope that our children enjoy their time at school and come home safe every night.\u00a0 We put our trust in schools to protect our children from harm<\/strong>, and on the most part they do<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 However, at The Injury Lawyers<\/a>, we do get many worried parents coming to us to bring claims on behalf of their child.<\/p>\n

Now, you may think \u2018how can I bring a claim on behalf of my child<\/em><\/strong>\u2019. Well, there is a system in place whereby the person bringing the claim is known as a Litigation Friend<\/em><\/strong> and takes control of the claim on behalf of the child claimant.\u00a0 The full in\u2019s and out\u2019s of this system need not be the topic of this blog, and further advice on the subject can be obtained from our team here at The Injury Lawyers<\/a> (should you require it).
\n<\/p>\n

There are all sorts of hazards at school which could culminate in accidents in the playground<\/strong>, in the classroom<\/strong>, or even in lesson time, such as sports<\/strong>.\u00a0 Like anywhere else, schools must comply with strict health and safety regulations<\/strong> to protect students as far as is reasonably possible from harm.\u00a0 Children can get into all kinds of situations which may cause them minor grazes and scratches.\u00a0 But if a child has an accident at school which was not their fault then they may have a claim for compensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If an accident does occur at school, an accident report may need to be filled out so it is important that if a child comes home and hasn\u2019t informed a teacher, this is then reported.\u00a0 Medical attention should be sought in order to assist the injuries<\/strong>.\u00a0 This also allows a medic to enter these into the claimant\u2019s medical records.\u00a0 Lastly, you should seek the assistance of a specialist personal injury solicitor to help you bring a personal injury claim.\u00a0 At The Injury Lawyers<\/a> we will assess a claim free of charge and let you know whether we can take the case on or not.\u00a0 You should always seek out a lawyer directly and avoid referral agents out there who may simply sell your claim to the highest bidding law firm rather than the firm who will give you the best service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
